NIAGARA FALLs

The falls are moving: Niagara Falls is moving about one foot per year due to erosion.

The falls are relatively young: Niagara Falls is about 12,000 years old, which is geologically young.

The falls are a hydropower source: Niagara Falls produces a large amount of electricity for New York State.

Niagara Falls holds the world record for the highest volume of water flow.

Most fish survive traveling over the falls because they can flow with the water.

Niagara Falls State Park is the oldest state park in the U.S.: It was established in 1885.

A boat has been stuck above the falls since 1918: The boat is stuck in the Niagara River upstream from the Horseshoe Falls.

The falls were originally located seven miles downriver from their current location.

The falls were formed by the same glacial-melt activity that formed the Great Lakes.
