Transcript of Livi Allegretti Jenni Bucher Kirstie Snyder Amanda Wiegand.
Formation of Major LandformsThe formation of many of the major
landforms in Ohio were created by glaciers. The movement of the glaciers cause the land to be scraped away and flattened. The scraping of the hills caused smaller particles such as rock and gravel.
Areas in Ohio that were not covered by glaciers two million years ago are still slightly hilly.
OhioMajor Rivers in Ohio - Ohio River, Cuyahoga
River, Miami River, Maumee River, Muskingham River, Scioto River, and Sandusky River
Major Lakes - Lake Erie and Grand Lake
Highest Point - Campbell Hill (1,549 feet above sea level)
Lowest Point- Ohio River (455 feet above sea level)
The Ohio RiverFormation- The river used to me more North
than it is now. Due to glaciers causing damming, the river was pushed more south.
Borders- southern and eastern Ohio, northern and western Kentucky
Flows into the Mississippi riverLength- 1580 kilometers, 981 miles
Miami RiverA tributary of the Ohio River150 miles (240 km) long Flows through Dayton, Piqua, Troy, and
SidneyNamed for Mimi and Algonquian speaking
Native people who lived in that region during the early days of European Settlement.
Scioto RiverBegins in west central Ohio and flows
southeast to the Olentangy River in Columbus, Ohio.
At more than 231 miles in length, the Scioto River is one of the largest rivers in the state.
• The upper Scioto River watershed is located in central Ohio with headwaters beginning in Hardin County, and continues to flow through Marion, Delaware, and Franklin counties, where it is meets the Olentangy River. The upper Scioto River watershed covers 6,510 acres.
Lake ErieFormation- The depression of land due to
glaciers around the northern border of Ohio formed large; low spots filling with water until drainage divides formed drainage outlets; later melting of glaciers
Depth- deepest spot= 210 feetSize- 12th largest freshwater lake in the worldUse- water supply for surrounding areas,
sand and gravel used for construction, clay forms on the bottom of the lake when water levels are high
Grand LakeManmade lake- created between 1837 and
1845Feeder for the Miami-Erie Canal systemLargest manmade body of water in the world
that was built without the use of machinery
Campbell HillLocation- outside of Bellefontaine, OhioElevation- 1549 feet above sea levelNamed after Charles O. Campbell who owned
the land
