Niagara Falls is two waterfalls on the
Niagara River, on the Canada-USA border,
between lakes Erie and Ontario and separated
by Goat Island. The American Falls are 51m
(167ft) high, 330m (1,080ft) wide.
To the west of the American Falls lie
the Horseshoe or Canadian Falls- a much more
spectacular sight-176ft(54m) in height with a
crest of 2,200ft(675m) over which pour 90%
of the total volume of water, at a rate of
about 200,000 cubic feet per second.
