How long are the Great Lakes likely to last? Will they be there for long enough for something to evolve that's able to break down the stuff at the bottom of Lake Superior? (lemmy.world)

What do you mean by evolve? Like, a creature that eats ships? The water and creatures eventually erode the ship to nothing. It’s not like Superior is some small lake that is going to dry up, it’s literally one of the largest lakes on the planet
