What is Niagara Falls' rock made of?
limestone, shale, and sandstone
What are two examples of rock erosion?
Blowing sand and Niagara Falls.
How does Niagara falls retreat?
Niagara Falls retreats as water flows it picks up loose rock, sand and dirt; eroding the surface back upstream.
Where can tourists stay at Niagara falls?

How many falls make up Niagra Falls?
NIagara Falls is located on the Niagara River, which connects to two of the five Great Lakes. Niagara Falls is the collective term for three different falls. The American Falls is between Prospect Point and Luna Island. Bridal Veil FAlls is between Luna Island and Goat Island. Lastly, Canadian Falls is between Goat Island and Table Rock.
Which major type of rock makes up niagara falls?
The rock layer directly below the water running over the falls is dolomite, also called dolostone.
How Niagara Falls form?
The Niagara falls were created at the end of the Wisconsin glaciations about 10,000 years ago. When the ice melted, the Great Lakes drained over the Niagara Escarpment, along the Niagara River. The River 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 eroded away, leaving the harder rock unsupported. The unsupported top rocks gave way again and again creating a sharp edge for the falls. If the entire formation had been made of softer rock the Falls would have become rapids.
What The different types of sedimentary rock exposed in the side of the Niagara falls gorge?
limestone, shale, and sandstone
What are some examples of erosion?
The gorge below Niagara falls is an example of erosion. Over many many years the falls has eroded away the rock as it slowly moved backwards. The steep sides of the gorge is the result.
How did Niagara falls form and develop?
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. == ==
When was Niagara Falls built?
The first bridge was built over the Falls in 1848. In 1969 a temporary dam was built to clear away rock debris, later other areas were filled in (1955) or permanently dammed (1980s). The Falls themselves, however, are a natural occurrence, and were not originally built by any mortal man. :)
How does weathering erosion and deposition effect Niagara Falls?
Erosion occurs to Niagara Falls becaust there is a vast amount of water flowing over the edge and it rubs against the edge causing pieces to fall off.
