The Magic of Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is one of the most famous places in the world with more than 12 million tourist visits every year. Niagara Falls is located in the east of North America, between the Canadian province of Ontario and the American state of New York, on the Niagara River. Located on the border of Canada and the United States of America, this magnificent waterfall consists of 3 large waterfalls. The Horseshoe (Atnaly Falls) on the Canadian side is the largest of them. American Falls and Bridal Veils Fall are two other small waterfalls in American territory.

However, such experiments have been banned in both countries for a long time. Niagara Falls, the largest and most powerful waterfall in North America, was formed 10,000 years ago as a result of sediments created by ice masses. The waterfall was 12 kilometers higher than where it once stood. In the course of time, the stones on the ground where it flowed have been eroded and eroded to where they are today.
