Niagara Falls

I was wondering what 2 great lakes make up Niagara falls

Goat Island!

The horse shoe falls is in canada , The bridal veil falls and the american falls arre in america, It is surface water because it comes from Lake Erie

The Falls are located on the borders of Zambia and Zimbabwe

According to the Farmer's Almanac, Niagara Falls Historical Society and stories I read as a child the Falls did at one time slow to a mere trickle. On March 29, 1848 a storm caused ice to dam up at the mouth of the Niagara River causing both Falls (Horseshoe and American) to slow to a trickle. By the next morning the dam broke and the flow returned to normal.

About every single year they bring in about 60,000 dollars.

Get a qualified architect to design it.

No. Niagara Falls is too cold for crocodiles.

That was a result of many creations by Nikola Tesla which was completed on August 26, 1895.

Father Louis Hennepin became the first European to write of the falls in a book describing his travels to the New World in 1678. But it has been there about 12,000 years.

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.
