Ниагарский водопад Ниагарский водопад - это массивные водопады на реке Ниагара, расположенные на международной границе, разделяющей канадскую провинцию Онтарио и штат Нью-Йорк. Падения находятся в 17 милях (27 км) к северо-северо-западу от Буффало, Нью-Йорк, в 75 милях (120 км) к юго-юго-востоку от Торонто, Онтарио, между городами-близнецами Ниагарского водопада, Онтарио и Ниагарским водопадом в Нью-Йорке. Ниагарский водопад состоит из двух основных секций, разделенных Козловым островом: Подковообразным водопадом, на канадской стороне границы и Американским водопадом на стороне Соединенных Штатов. Мелкие водопады для новобрачных также расположены на американской стороне, отделенной от основных водопадов о-ва Луна. Ниагарский водопад был сформирован, когда ледники отступили в конце оледенения Висконсина (последний ледниковый период), а вода из вновь образованных Великих озер проложила путь через Ниагарский откос по пути в Атлантический океан. Хотя и не исключительно высока, Ниагарский водопад очень широк. Более 650 миллионов кубических футов воды приходится на линию гребня каждую минуту при высоком потоке и почти 4 миллиона кубических футов (110 000 м³) в среднем. Это самый мощный водопад в Северной Америке. Ниагарский водопад славится как своей красотой, так и ценным источником гидроэнергии. Управление балансом между рекреационным, коммерческим и промышленным использованием было проблемой для стюардов падений с 1800-х годов.
