Powerful. Niagara Falls (/Naéªëˆã¦É¡Ré™/, Cayuga: Gahnawehtaë€ Or Tgahnawä™Htaë€[1]) Is The Collective Name For Three Waterfalls That Straddle The International Border Between Canada And The United States; More Specifically, Between The Province Of Ontario And The State Of New York. They Form The Southern End Of The Niagara Gorge. From Largest To Smallest, The Three Waterfalls Are 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,[4] And Almost Four Million Cubic Feet (110,000 M3) On Average. -------Wikipedia
