NIAGARA FALLS FACTS
1. The word “Niagara” was derived from the Iroquois Indian word “Onguiaahra” meaning “the strait”
2. Niagara Falls is 12,000 years old.
3. Niagara Falls are the second largest falls in the world next to Victoria Falls in South Africa. What
makes Niagara Falls spectacular is the combination of volume and height.
4. 2800 cubic meters of water flows over the edge of the Falls per second during the summer peak, and
falls at a speed of 65 km/hr.
5. The sound of the Falls has been described as thunder, and is caused by air bubbles breaking as they
are slammed up and out of the water.
6. The plunge pool beneath the falls is 35m(100 feet) deep.
7. It is estimated that Niagara Falls erodes at the rate of 1 foot per year.
8. The Niagara generating stations supply one quarter of all power used in New York State and Ontario.
9. All the water flows from 4 Great Lakes (Lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, and Erie) north through the
Niagara River into Lake Ontario and through the St. Lawrence River to the Atlantic Ocean.
10. As one of the seven natural wonders of the world, Niagara Falls attracts more than 12 million visitors a
year.
