Niagara Falls

multnomah falls

lowland

150,000 gallons of water a second. That is a lot of bath tubs being filled each second!

Tourism was slow to arrive. One of the first important visits occurred in 1791, when the duke of Kent (father of the future Queen Victoria of England) stayed at the only building in the area: a small wooden hut. The first groups of tourists began arriving during the mid-1800s. The falls continued to attract important guests, such as Jerome Bonaparte, brother of the famous Napoleon. He came from New Orleans on his honeymoon. From that moment on, Niagara Falls became a popular destination for couples on their honeymoon.

A non purpose attraction is an attraction what hasn't been built by humans but something that has formed over millions of years for example Niagara Falls.

Niagara falls is fed primarily by runoff from Lake Erie

Because waterfalls are cool. It's a very romantic and pretty place to go.

I was there as a tourist just to see it since there aren't many waterfalls like that around and we also got it see the lightshow at night playing over the falls in different colors. it was very beautiful. Some people go there to be in the tiny boats and get close to it that way and others go there to get married.

1 centimetre, nah about 80 miles

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.

Niagara Falls doesn't really have any forces acting on it, but the gravity is a force. So gravity is whats causing the water to rush down. :)

over 7200 people have died at the Niagara falls

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.

It's a distance of about 233 miles (373km) - taking about 41/2 hours

Yes. One person tried to commit suicide by jumping off the rail.

Nik Wallenda will walk across Niagra Falls on a tightrope on June 15, 2012. The stunt will be aired on 9 PM EST on ABC.

Yes - head towards the falls then over into the UB along the Erie canal for a bit then onto the I90...

Through the Welland canal.

It's in the west of India, just north of the town of Kargal

· The area of beauty is ruined by all the hotels built around it.

· The tall buildings built around Niagara falls stop the wind from blowing the spray from the waterfall away.

· Sewage is put into the river

· Pollutants in the river and waterfall can kill the fish so there is a loss of fish and local wildlife in Niagara's rivers and surrounding it

· Taking water from the river for the hydroelectric power would less the amount of water in the river and waterfall and slow erosion down

· When people build on the edges of the waterfall the ground crumbles away.

Yes, but it depends on the weather.

well physical means things that are made by te environment for example erosion, so physical features on the Niagra falls would be the waterfall has fromed it self, the sourece which is where it starts from, the horseshoe falls, the bridal veil falls and the american falls. Also the plungeball is a physical fromation as heaps of water plumts down from the earth its going to be really heavy so its made to be a plundge ball. These plungeballs are encreibly deep as the rocks tat are eroded break off and fall into the river making the plunge even bigger. (DO NOT EVER TRY AND JUMP OFF IT YOU WILL DIE)

Niagara Falls is in the Northern Hemisphere, being north of the Equator. It is also in the Western Hemisphere, being to the west of the Prime Meridian.
