Molecules with stronger intermolecular force have higher freezing points. > Letâs look at it from the point of view of a solid, where the particles are held in position by their intermolecular forces of attraction. If we raise the temperature enough to overcome these forces, the solid will melt.
Although it is smaller than each of the Great LakesâOntario, Erie, Huron, Superior, and MichiganâLake Champlain is a large body of fresh water. Approximately 1,269 km2 (490 sq mi) in area, the lake is roughly 201 km (125 mi) long, and 23 km (14 mi) across at its widest point.
This is because what have traditionally been called Lake Huron and Lake Michigan are really giant lobes of a single lake connected by the five mile wide Strait of Mackinac.) It has the longest shoreline of the Great Lakes, counting its 30,000 islands. Surface Area: 22,973 mi2 / 59,500 km2. Volume: 850 mi3 / 3,540 km3.
