NIAGARA FALLS
FACT #1
It Packs a Punch.
It’s the biggest waterfall in North America, but there are
nearly 500 waterfalls around the world that are higher.
However, the three waterfalls of Niagara create the highest
flow rate of any waterfall on the planet - it could fill an
Olympic sized swimming pool in half a second.
FACT #2
It’s a Daredevil’s Paradise.
Many daredevils have made successful attempts to cross the
gorge, starting with the Jean François Gravelet, who crossed
Niagara Gorge in 1859. Between 1859 and 1896, a wire-walking
craze emerged, resulting in frequent feats over the river below
the falls. Only one man fell to his death, at night and under
mysterious circumstances, at the anchoring place for his wire.
FACT #3
It’s Raining Fish.
Here's a rather wacky fact about the Niagara Falls; fish
commonly fly over the falls. Visitors on the Cave of the Winds
tour have been stuck by them on their way down - so keep an
eye out! Around 90% of the fish that go over the falls survive.
FACT #4
It’s a Barrel of Fun.
In 1901, 63-year-old Michigan school
teacher Annie Edson Taylor went over the
falls in a barrel. She survived, bleeding, but
otherwise unharmed. It was intended as a
publicity stunt, but after exiting the barrel,
she said, "no one ought ever do that again”.
There have been many attempts since, but
some were not so lucky.
FACT #5
It’s Only Half the Flow.
On average, Niagara Falls flows over 28 million litres of water… per
second! Although there’s a ton of water tumbling down the falls,
around 50-75% of the water flowing in the Niagara River is diverted
away for human consumption. Less water is diverted in summer to
provide a better show for tourists, but it’s hard to imagine even more
water than there is. The peak flow over Horseshoe Falls was recorded
at 225,000 cubic feet (6,400 m3) per second.
FACT #6
It’s Got History.
The Maid of the Mist is the oldest tourist
attraction in North America - it made its first
voyage way back in 1846. However, it goes
back even further than that - the Falls were
created by the Wisconsin glaciation about
10,000 years ago. The same forces also created
the North American Great Lakes and the
Niagara River.
FACTS #7
It’s (Slowly) Eroding.
It is estimated that 50,000 years from now, the remaining 20
miles (32 km) to Lake Erie will have been undermined, and
the falls will cease to exist. The current rate of erosion is
approximately 1 foot (0.30 m) per year, down from a
historical average of 3 feet (0.91 m) per year.
FACT #8
The Marilyn Monroe Connection.
The Falls have been a tourist attraction
and honeymoon destination for over 200
years, but visits to Niagara rose sharply in
1953. That was the year the movie
‘Niagara’ was released, starring Marilyn
Monroe and Joseph Cotten.
Give the correct
Adjective or Adverb.
EXERCISE 5
1. Niagara Falls form a (natural/naturally) border between
the United States and Canada.
2. Tourists visit this place (frequent/frequently).
3. The Falls are very (noisy/noisily).
4. So you must speak (loud/loudly) or nobody can
understand you.
5. Many years ago, the Iroquois tribe lived here
(peaceful/peacefully).
