Lake Ontario basin shows evidence of catastrophic water flows and scoured features

Lake Ontario basin shows evidence of catastrophic water flows and scoured features. Deepest part of Lake Ontario basin approximately 500 feet deep Basin contains scoured features indicating massive water flows in both northeast and southwest directions Water likely drained ultimately to the north

Lake Ontario's Rochester Basin—the deepest part at 802 feet (244 m)—reveals elongated scoured features with water flows moving in BOTH northeast AND southwest directions—suggesting catastrophic bidirectional drainage. Researchers believe this ancient basin may mark an impact point, with water ultimately draining northward. The scale of erosion here is remarkable.

Key facts claimed:

- Deepest part of Lake Ontario basin approximately 802 feet deep

- Basin contains scoured features indicating massive water flows in both northeast and southwest directions

- Water likely drained ultimately to the north

- Features suggest impact point hypothesis at basin center
