  1. If possible, would be awesome to make "GROUND WATER" one word in the hydrologic cycle block diagram. But no worries if it's too much hassle.

  2. Under "Great Salt Lake, Wasatch Front, and Great Basin": Second paragraph, change "Wasatch Mountains" to "Wasatch Range." Also, at the end of "Greatest Snow on Earth," add symbol for registered trademark ®.

  3. Under "Lake Bonneville":

    • In the sentence referring to "straight, flat benches," suggest deleting "straight." "Flat" captures the vertical aspect of the benches, and in the horizontal aspect the shorelines follow topographic contours, and are only "straight" for very limited distances.
    • For the duration of Lake Bonneville, please change "12 to 28 thousand years ago" to "13,000 to 30,000 years ago" (updated timeline, and numerical figures rather than combination of numbers and words).
    • For the area of the lake, can the "2" (i.e, "squared") in the metric-equivalent units be superscripted?
    • In the last sentence ("Increased precipitation..."), suggest changing "causes" to "caused" (past tense seems preferable for talking about a prehistoric lake).

  4. Under "More on the Hydrologic Cycle":

    • At the end of the first paragraph, not sure "vice versa" is correct usage here. "Vice versa" refers to "and the other way around"; seems like rather than a case of the other way around, it's more a case of "the opposite is true" (i.e., when the amount of water entering the lake is less than the amount leaving by evaporation, lake level drops). Recommend revising.
    • Second paragraph: Change "Wasatch Mountains" to "Wasatch Range."

  5. Rest of the page looks great!

All comments have been addressed.

@jackie-dewolfe The only comment not done is the first one with the water cycle figure. How much effort would need to go in to fix the labels on the figure? image

That's not difficult, I've fixed "groundwater" in the figures. All comments addressed.
