are the great lakes connected to the atlantic ocean?

Yes, by way of the Hudson Bay which is the outpour of the St. Lawrence seaway.  Hence the way that US Navy ships can enter and exit lake Michigan.

There are five oceans: Pacific, Atlantic, Arctic, Indian, and Southern.

An ocean is a global interconnected body of salt water.\n\nA sea is a large expanse of saline water connected to an ocean.\n\nA lake is a body of water surrounded by land that is either freshwater or salt water.  The majority of lakes are freshwater.

it passes through the pacific, atlantic, and indian oceans. really the only ocean it doesnt pass through is the arctic ocean.

Yes, and Lake Michigan even qualifies as an "inland sea" because of its size.  Impress your teachers with that :)

Wind driven surface currents (such as the Gulf Stream) head polewards from the equatorial Atlantic Ocean, cooling all the while and eventually sinking at high latitudes (forming North Atlantic Deep Water). This dense water then flows downhill into the deep water basins, only resurfacing in the northeast Pacific Ocean 1200 years later. Extensive mixing therefore takes place between the ocean basins, reducing differences between them and making the Earth's ocean a global system. On their journey, the water masses piggyback both energy (in the form of heat) and matter (solids, dissolved substances and gases) around the globe. As such, the state of the circulation has a large impact on the climate of our planet.  It's also called thermohaline circulation

When ocean levels rise the water must go somewhere.  So, the water covers up land.  Thus, if ice caps in the artic melt many of our coastal areas will eventually be covered in water... including New York, Boston, etc.

The Earth's oceans are all connected to one another. Until the year 2000, there were four recognized oceans: the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, and Arctic. In the Spring of 2000, the International Hydrographic Organization delimited a new ocean, the Southern Ocean (it surrounds Antarctica and extends to 60 degrees latitude). \nSee map with location in\nhttp://www.enchantedlearning.com/subjects/ocean/

I read in new scientist that there there is a certain current in the Atlantic that transports hotter ocean water from the south to the north.\n\nWhat happens here is the arctic ice will cool the temperature of the water down and it will thus flow south again.\n\nWith global warming there will be a constant flow of hot water to the north thus raising the water level there. So all places on the northern hemisphere would get affected first. \n\nI'm not too sure I got all the facts right but it has something to do with a current though.

Of the 5 lakes of great lakes excepting Lake Michigan all the following four lakes viz.Lake Erie, Lake Huron, Lake Ontario and Lake Superior are in the border of Canada and USA.-

The ocean currents are a major factor in the climate of this planet. Many regions experience weather patterns and temperatures that are related primarily to the effect of ocean currents. Other weather patterns like hurricanes and El Niño events are also strongly affected by ocean currents.\n\nOcean currents in the Northern Hemisphere circulate in clockwise patterns around the basins. These are known as gyres. The Gulf Stream which moves northward up the western side of the Atlantic Ocean basin is responsible for moderating and warming the climate of Ireland, England, and northern Europe. The equatorial currents that move westward across the Pacific Ocean are an intrinsic part of the climate patterns known as El Niño and the Southern Oscillation. This climate pattern effects North and South America, Australia, India, eastern Asia, and even parts of Africa. Even Western Europe can statistically relate flooding events to El Niño. In years when El Niño is active hurricanes in the Atlantic have been found to be less active. \nhttp://typhoon.atmos.colostate.edu/\n\nOne scientist proposed that sub sea eruptions along the East Pacific Rise might be creating large volumes of rising heated water that would periodically mess up the ocean currents and cause the changes of weather patterns associated with El Niño/Southern Oscillation events. Another scientist attempting to verify this discovered that the El Niño events actually precede swarms of seismic activity in that area, and suggested the El Niño may actually be triggering the sub sea volcanic eruptions by slight changes in sea level and water pressure over the mid-ocean ridges. \nhttp://ess.geology.ufl.edu/usra_esse/ENSO_Oceans.html\n\nAnother important ocean current circulates deep in the oceans and actually moves through each of the world’s oceans in a continuous slow-moving belt known as the Conveyor. This is driven by cold, salty, North Atlantic water that sinks and moves southward to the Antarctic, where it moves eastward into the Pacific, and then northward to the North Pacific, where it turns and moves back through the Indian Ocean and toward the North Atlantic again.  It is estimated that if the Conveyer were to shut down, the North Atlantic region would be 20 degrees F. colder within ten years, and much of Europe would have a climate more like northern Norway has today.\nhttp://www.columbia.edu/cu/record/23/11/13.html

The first link below lists all Great Lakes shipwrecks and much of the data about the ship, cargo, crew and passengers, but no coordinates.\n\nThe second link is for the Great Lakes Shipwreck Museum which is at the Whitefish Point Lighthouse where the Edmund Fitzgerald capsized in 1975. When we toured there a few summers back, the staff were quite helpful. Perhaps they could point you to where you could get the coordinates specifics that you seek.

the atlantic! do u read a map?!
