The Niagara Escarpment is a prominent geological formation that stretches from New York through Ontario, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois. It is characterized by steep cliffs and is known for its scenic beauty, rich biodiversity, and various recreational opportunities. The escarpment is also significant for its geological history, having been shaped by glacial activity, and it plays a crucial role in local ecosystems and water drainage. Additionally, it is home to several parks and protected areas, including Niagara Falls.
The Niagara Escarpment is not a fault line at all; it appears to be a fault line due to unequal erosion. It spans about 650 miles in the Great Lakes region.
