Description
A vacation destination since the 19th century, Niagara Falls, which rests on the Canadian, US border, is made up of three waterfalls: the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls.
Niagara Falls were formed when glaciers receded at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation (the last ice age), and water from the newly formed Great Lakes carved a path through the Niagara Escarpment en route to the Atlantic Ocean.
While not exceptionally high, the Niagara Falls are very wide. More than six million cubic feet (168,000 m3) of water falls over the crest line every minute in high flow,] and almost four million cubic feet (110,000 m3) on average.
The verdant green colour of the water flowing over the Niagara Falls is a byproduct of the estimated 60 tonnes/minute of dissolved salts and "rock flour" (very finely ground rock) generated by the erosive force of the Niagara River itself.
