The most likely explanation that explains the evolution of The Great Lakes is:
A) Late Cenozoic continental collision of plates formed mountains, which acted as the boundary of the lakes. Subsequent precipitation filled in these depressions.
B) Glacial mass eroded the bedrock forming a depression. As glaciers retreated, deposits blocked the flow of meltwater causing water to fill in the depressions.
C) Tensional stresses are pulling plates apart, allowing ocean water to fill in the gaps.
D) The continuous advance and retreat of glaciers formed one glacial lake at a time eventually forming Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, and Lake Erie.
