Niagara falls retreats at an average rate of about 3 to 5 feet per year due to erosion caused by the water flow and the impact of ice and rock fragments. This erosion primarily affects the soft rock layers beneath the falls, leading to their gradual retreat upstream. Over thousands of years, this process has significantly shaped the landscape of the region.
