Canadian Falls
Niagara Falls, Ontario

Every year the Canadian falls erodes by less than a foot. It used to be more, but a bunch of water is diverted for the hydro-electric dam which is visible along the horizon in this photo.
Since my first visit here, the falls have eroded by appox. 18 feet, and its noticeable!

They say in a thousands of years the falls will erode all the way back to Lake Erie.

---

Niagara Falls was created by the Wisconsin glaciation, about 10,000 years ago. The same forces also created the North American Great Lakes and the Niagara River. All were dug by a continental ice sheet that drove through the area.

When the ice melted, the upper Great Lakes emptied into the Niagara River, which followed the rearranged topography across the Niagara Escarpment.
