The Niagara Falls are being destroyed by too many tourists treading on the groung, meaning that it will wear it away. It is possible that the ground may erode due to us walking. The Niagara Falls is also being destroyed by pollution in the air. Pollution affects everywhere in the world.
Peak numbers of visitors occur in the summertime, when Niagara Falls are both a daytime and evening attraction. From the Canadian side, floodlights illuminate both sides of the falls for several hours after dark (until midnight). The number of visitors in 2008 is expected to total 20 million and by 2009, the annual rate is expected to top 28 million tourists a year.
The Niagara Falls were created at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation about 10,000 years ago. When the ice melted, the Great Lakes drained over the Niagara Escarpment by way of the Niagara River. The River initially cut a gorge through the escarpment. The layers of rock in the escarpment have a top rock formation that is composed of harder stone that eroded more slowly than the underlying materials. The softer rock preferentially eroded away, undercutting the harder rock. The unsupported top rocks gave way from time to time creating a sharp edge for the falls. If the entire formation had been softer rock the present Falls would have been reduced to a series of rapids. == ==
Niagara Falls are not man made and were instead created by nature at the end of the last ice age. Besides being a Beautiful site to see by millions of tourists each year the tremendous amount of water and the force it creates while traveling down the River is used as one of the world's largest sources for hydro electricity by both Canada and the US.
You could be missing Canada because of its beautiful attractions such as the Stanley Park, Banff National Park, CN Tower, Niagara Falls, Fraser Valley, Ile d'Orleans, Calgary Stampede, Olympic Park, and many others.
One of them is the Ambassador Bridge that connects Windsor, Ontario to Detroit, Michigan. There is also a bridge that connects St. Stephen, New Brunswick to Calais, Maine. Probably the most famous is the Rainbow bridge, that connects Niagara Falls, Ontario to Niagara Falls, New York.

Niagara Falls is located between Lake Erie to the west and Lake Ontario to the east. Both of these lakes are full of fresh water that runs off of there adjoining states, in the USA, and Providences, in Canada. Therefore the falls are fresh water falls.
Ontario
Niagara Falls was not created by a natural disaster unless you count the last ice age as a "disaster". The Wisconsin glaciation caused the great lakes to form by sinking the land down and making the basins for the lakes and the falls themselves are a by product of there being a large cliff (the Niagara Escarpment) where the Niagara River happened to flow from Lake Ontario and Lake Erie.
No, it isn't, not by far. Victoria Falls in Africa (called Mosi-oa-Tunya or "the Smoke that Thunders" in the local tongue) is considered by many accounts the largest waterfall in the world based on sheer size (height and width combined). It's found on the Zambezi River between Zambia and Zimbabwe. It's twice as high as Niagara and around 500m wider. Iguazu Falls in Brazil is even wider still while being taller than Niagara. Niagara Falls is the most powerful falls in North America and its great claim to fame is its accessibility and great scenery,No. Victoria Falls on the Zambezi river is the world's largest.
Man uses some (only some being roughly 18% from my research) of the water from Niagara Falls being 18% as water supply to Canada, unsure about states in America.
