............ wikipedia............ Niagara Falls (French: les Chutes du Niagara) are massive waterfalls on the Niagara River, straddling the international border separating the Canadian province of Ontario and the U.S. state of New York. The falls are 17 miles (27 km) north-northwest of Buffalo, New York, 75 miles (120 km) south-southeast of Toronto, Ontario, between the twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New York.

Niagara Falls is composed of two major sections separated by Goat Island: Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side of the border and American Falls on the United States side. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls also is located on the American side, separated from the main falls by Luna Island. 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,[1] and almost 4 million cubic feet (110,000 m³) on average. It is the most powerful waterfall in North America.[
......................................A Niagara-vízesés (angolul: Niagara Falls, franciául: les Chutes du Niagara) egy hatalmas vízesésegyüttes a Niagara folyón. Kanada és az Amerikai Egyesült Államok nemzetközi határán fekszik elválasztva Ontario tartományt és New York államot. Niagara Falls, Ontario és Niagara Falls, New York ikervárosok között található, 27 km-re Buffalótól.

Niagara-vízesés két fő részből áll, amiket a Kecske-sziget választ el: a Patkó-zuhatag a határ kanadai oldalán és az Amerikai-zuhatag az amerikai oldalon. Szintén az amerikai oldalon található még egy kisebb, a Menyasszonyi fátyol-zuhatag, amit a Luna-sziget különít el.

A vízesés együttes a gleccserek visszahúzódásakor formálódott, a Wisconsin-gleccseresedés végén az utolsó jégkorszakban; a víz az újonnan létrejött Nagy-tavakból vájt utat magának ide a Niagara-lejtőn át az Atlanti-óceán irányába.

Bár nem rendkívül magas, a Niagara-vízesés nagyon széles: több mint 168 000 m³ zúdul le minden percben magas vízállás esetén [1], és 110 000 m³ átlagosnál. Ez a legerősebb vízesés Észak-Amerikában[2

Well now I'm jalous !., To see that you take so good photos, of the sky too, with that small camera. It doesn't seem much better than mine, but my skies are always so pale, no color at all. I guess my camera isn't very good. Anyway, tremendous falls. Cooling feeling, all that mist, and the color of water. ????? · 2008-09-13: 04:06

Great!!! Kanya · 2008-09-13: 08:05
