Niagara falls recedes at a rate of approximately 3 to 5 feet (0.9 to 1.5 meters) per year due to erosion caused by the falling water. This erosion primarily affects the soft rock beneath the falls, leading to the gradual retreat of the waterfall. Over thousands of years, this process has significantly shaped the landscape of the area. Efforts have been made to manage the flow of water to reduce erosion and preserve the falls.
