What lakes were formed as ice retreated during the last ice age 14 thousand years ago?

As the last ice age ended around 14,000 years ago, glaciers retreated, leading to the formation of several significant lakes. Notable examples include the Great Lakes in North America—Lake Superior, Lake Michigan, Lake Huron, Lake Erie, and Lake Ontario—as well as Lake Agassiz, a massive glacial lake that once covered parts of Canada and the northern United States. These lakes were created by the melting ice, which carved out depressions in the landscape that filled with water.
