The world's largest waterfall in terms of water flow

Niagara Falls, located on the Niagara River in Ontario, Canada and New York State, USA, is a very typical transnational waterfall. The source of the falls is the Niagara River, and the main falls are located in Canada, which is the best place to see the falls; in the United States the falls are separated by Moon Island, and the view is of the side of the falls. The falls pour down from a height of more than 60 meters and become the natural borderline between the United States and Canada. Every holiday season, tourists from all over the world come to see this spectacular sight in groups.

The Geography of Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls consists of three parts, each of which is in a different place, each with its own unique characteristics. The Horseshoe Falls is in Canada and is the largest of these falls, while the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls are both in the United States, but these two falls are small and are only one side of Niagara Falls, which nevertheless still attracts many tourists to visit.

The geology of Niagara Falls

The formation of the falls actually has a lot to do with the local geology as well. In the Niagara Gorge, all the rock layers are almost horizontal, and the top of these rocks are made of hard marble, while underneath are layers of geology that are easily eroded by water forces and become soft. The most important condition to be able to form waterfalls is the need for these loose geological layers. With the migration of time, the continental glaciers gradually moved back, the underlying marble rock layers were exposed, and water flowed through them to form the present Niagara Falls.

Scenery of Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, and its magnificence and huge flow have made it a famous tourist destination. On sunny days, you can often see a huge rainbow formed by the sun shining on the water mist, so the rainbow bridge has been specially built for visitors to see. When it is cloudy and rainy, the turquoise water tilts down, like a shimmering silk cloth.
