B) FALL. The reason is that while the stone is in the boat (or otherwise floating or being supported by a floating object), it is displacing water equal to its WEIGHT, but when fully immersed, it displaces water equal to its VOLUME. This is less water (since if a volume of water equal to the volume of the stone weighed as much or more than the stone, then the stone's density would be less than that of water, which it isn't), and therefore the total water level in the lake will go DOWN.\n\nTo the other answerers: shame on you for not thinking through the problem carefully enough.

Milwaukee received its name from the Indian word Millioke which means "The Good Land", or "Gathering place by the water." Another interpretation is "beautiful or pleasant lands".[4] Early explorers called the Milwaukee River and surrounding lands various names: Melleorki, Milwacky, Mahn-a-waukie, Milwarck, and Milwaucki. For many years, printed records gave the name as "Milwaukie". A Short History of Milwaukee, by William George Bruce, gives the story of Milwaukee's final name:\n\n"[O]ne day during the thirties of the last century a newspaper calmly changed the name to Milwaukee, and Milwaukee it has remained until this day."[5] \nMilwaukeeans themselves confuse outsiders in their pronunciation of the name. It is often pronounced close to M'waukee, which is humorously observed on some T-Shirts sold.

Yep, every mountain in North America has a name.\nsomeone somewhere has named  their local mountain something\neven though it may not appear on a map or may have a name given by state or provincial athorities, locals may have another name that was given sometime in the past.

The water in the Great Lakes came from the end of the last major ice age. That entire regions was covered in thick, deep glaciers and when they all melted the Great Lakes were formed. Glacial ice was obviously frozen fresh water. I imagine rain keeps the water levels up.

Lava flows of the Mono-Inyo Craters volcanic chain in Long Valley Caldera, California. The most recent eruptions from along this chain occurred about 250 and 600 years ago.

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

I used to live in Duluth years ago.  I would go back if I could afford to. I liked it when the lake would freeze over along the shore in the winter.

It is not a ocean or sea, which are salted.\n\nA lake is non salted water, but the word fresh might be miss leading. Lake Superior's "fresh" water that is not so fresh, but not salted.

I've lived in Sarasota all my life and the most common theory about how it got it's name is the one listed above ... named for Sara de soto. But I did find some more information that it was not always named sarasota. On old maps it is listed as Porte Sarsote, Sarazote or Saraxote. Leading to the theory that the name may have originated with an Indian word "sara-se-cota", meaning a landfall easily observed.

i always thought it was because there was no humidity in the air...probably wrong, anyway. or maybe its because the warm climate doesnt allow the moisture to turn back into water. who knows? prob a weatherman.

From Wikipedia:\n\n"The community is named after the cove of the same name. Peggy is a nickname for Margaret, and the village may have taken its name from St. Margaret's Bay upon which it is situated. Local folklore has several alternative origins for the name. Some people claim Peggy was an early settler, while others say she was a survivor from a shipwreck."

A mere is a lake which is broader than in relation to its depth!!  A lake is a body of water surrounded by land. And a water is a body of water!!

because it is less dense than the water

Your question is a bit ambiguous, but let's see if we can answer and clarify:\n\n(1) There is a lake with a certain amount of water, thus establishing a water level with respect to the ground.\n(2) There is a boat with a coin inside it on the lake. The boat sinks into the lake to a level that you can mark on the side of the boat.\n(3) The coin is tossed into the lake, thus reducing the total weight of the boat and this will cause the "water level" wrt to the boat to change, i.e. the "water level" will decrease a bit since the boat will have risen a bit higher from the water surface.\n(4) When the boat with the coin inside it is floating on the lake, the lake's water level wrt to the ground will rise a bit, because the boat has displaced the lake's water.\n(5) When the coin is tossed into the lake, the water level wrt to the ground does change, but we do not know how because now the lake's water is being displaced by the coin's physical volume, not by its weight, as it was the case when it was inside the boat.
