(Narrator) Questions the below refer to the following lecture about Lake Ontario.
(Man) If you look out the window on the right side of the van, you will see Lake Ontario, the smallest
and most eastern of the five Great Lakes. Although the lake is navigable for large ships all year round, it is
less traveled than the other Great Lakes. Lake Ontario borders the Canadian province of Ontario on its north
side and the northwestern part of New York and forms a crucial link of the St. Lawrence Seaway.
The lake is about one hundred ninety-three miles long and fifty-three miles wide and covers an area of seven
thousand five hundred square miles. The shore of the lake is approximately four hundred eighty miles
around. Two-thirds of the lake waters lie below sea level and, because Lake Ontario is very deep, it does not
freeze in the winter except near the shore where the water is shallow. A constant current carries the water
from west to east at the rate of about one-third of a mile per hour.
Because of the capacity of large bodies of water to retain heat, the lake has a moderating effect on the cli-
mate of the areas that surround it. For example, while the eastern shore of the lake never has a really hot day,
on its southern shore fruit trees grow both in the United States and Canada. The lake empties into the Atlan-
tic Ocean through the St. Lawrence River, while the Niagara River and the Welland Canal connect it to Lake
Erie in the southwest.
