Niagara Falls is located on the border between Ontario, Canada, and New York, USA. The falls are approximately 17 miles (27 kilometers) north-northwest of Buffalo, New York, and 75 miles (120 kilometers) south-southeast of Toronto, Ontario.
Niagara Falls has been used by people for tourism, hydroelectric power generation, and as a source of freshwater. It is a popular destination for sightseeing, boat tours, and various recreational activities. Additionally, the falls provide hydroelectricity to both the United States and Canada through power plants located along the Niagara River.
The two lakes between Niagara Falls are Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. These two lakes are part of the Great Lakes system that drains into the Niagara River, eventually flowing over the falls.
Niagara Falls is not the largest waterfall in North America. It is actually the second largest waterfall by flow rate after the Boyoma Falls in Africa. However, Niagara Falls is one of the most well-known and visited waterfalls in North America.
No, Niagara Falls is not man-made. It was formed naturally over time as a result of erosion caused by the flow of the Niagara River over the Niagara Escarpment, creating the iconic waterfall that we see today.
Yes, Niagara Falls is eroding at a slow rate due to the constant flow of water over the edge of the falls. However, efforts are being made to control the erosion through various engineering methods.
Waterfalls are important for several reasons. They help regulate the flow of rivers, provide habitats for various species of plants and animals, and create unique landscapes that attract tourism. Additionally, the movement and sound of waterfalls have been shown to have a calming and therapeutic effect on individuals.
There are several great waterfalls in Hawaii, with some of the most notable ones being Akaka Falls, Rainbow Falls, and Wailua Falls. Each offers a unique and stunning experience for visitors to enjoy the beauty of Hawaii's natural landscapes.
length of brink: 1060 feet
height: 176 feet (due to rocks at the base actual fall is 70 feet)
volume of water: 150,000 U.S. Gallons per second

Waterfalls are typically formed when a river flows over different layers of rock, with softer rock eroding faster than harder rock. This differential erosion creates a drop in the river's elevation, resulting in a waterfall. Other factors such as tectonic activity or glacial movements can also contribute to the formation of waterfalls.
Yes, the Ganges River forms a waterfall known as the Ganges Falls, also called the Gangotri Falls. It is located in Uttarakhand, India, near the town of Gangotri, where the Ganges River emerges from the Gangotri Glacier.
Angel Falls in Venezuela has the longest drop of any waterfall in the world. It is located in the Canaima National Park in the Gran Sabana region.
Approximately 1.5 million tourists visit Iguazu Falls each year, making it one of the most popular tourist destinations in South America.
Splashing ,dashing ,restless sea,
Never still you seem to be :
Sometimes angry, sometimes sad,
Sometimes you laugh as though you glad.
Little children love you well,
Love all the wondrous tales you tell;
Love to watch you come and go,
In the tides that ebb and flow.
Though so strong and great you are,
Stretching deep, and wide, and far,
Tiny vessels safe and keep,
Rocking them gently, as to sleep,
Wildly and rough though you may be,
When you are angry, mighty sea,
When the storm has gone, we find
You are still our playmate kind.
Absolutely not. Burmese pythons are actually semi-aquatic. A big part of their environment revolves around rivers, lakes & streams; they LOVE to swim and are very proficient swimmers. So...no, Burmese pythons are most definitely NOT afraid of water - THEY LOVE IT!!
SCIENCE PROJECT IDEAS # I personally did this one in 5th grade and won third place so this would be better for your stage of learning than for me: i used water, food coloring, the cun and 7 cups all of the same size.(add your own twist! do 8 colors or 3 or whatever...) pur the same amount of water in the cups. put the same amount of drops of food coloring in the water (different colors ex. first cup: 2 drops of red, second cup: 2 drops of blue etc.) basically you set them out in the sun and see if the different colors effect the evaporation of the water. purely simple. just consider it.
Without seeing your water, I am going to guess that the liquid algaecide you are using is a quat (quatenary ammonium). It is an effective algaecide but it can cause the water to get a little "sudsy" or "foamy". You may have had just a bit too much in there. A way the old service company guys would check your algaecide level was to put their hand in the pool and shake it around. If it foamed some, then you had enough. Usually a good shock will clear that up.
The largest uninterrupted waterfall in the world is Angel Falls (or Salto Ángel). It is 979 meters (3,212 ft) high and is located in the tropical forests of Venezuela.
There Is No Current Below The Water! The Current Stays Above...
Seventy-one percent of the Earth's surface is covered by water. While most water is found in oceans and other water bodies, a small percentage is below ground and in the air. Saltwater oceans hold ninety-seven percent of the Earth's surface water, with glaciers, polar ice caps, rivers, lakes and ponds making up the rest.
