Can anyone give me a quick description of the geography surrounding Lake Michigan? (This is for FLVS' 4.02 Biology, sorry if it's in the wrong forum.)

Although I think this would fit in Geography...what do you want to know?

Here's the instruction I was given for this assignment: 

A virtual field trip is a Web search of a location you are unable to visit in person. For this virtual trip, pick any sea, lake, bay, or river in the world and research the biotic and abiotic factors that make it unique. Include the following features in your virtual field trip research:

the location of your body of water
a description of the geography surrounding your body of water
the effects of sunlight on the aquatic life inhabiting your body of water
the depths and salinity of your body of water and how this shapes the types of aquatic life present
the effects of seasonal changes to water temperatures and aquatic life in your body of water
predictions or current research on the effects of climate change to your body of water

I just need to know what sort of biome surrounds it, that sort of thing.

I do not know the biome it is located in but since it is so close to Canada I assume temperatures would be fairly cold. I just checked the temperature right now and it is only 59 degrees fahrenheit which to me is chilly.
