What are ten important facts about Niagara falls?


I already have 4 and I need 6 more. This is what I have :

Niagara falls is made of these different waterfalls ; The Canadian horseshoe, the american falls, and the bridal vell falls

niagara falls are the second largest waterfalls in the world

the word niagara is from the iroquois indians word onguiaahra which means the strait

the number of water that goes over the horseshoe falls is 600,000 gallons per second

thank u i need to finish my project but the facts have to be about its geography

Here are two articles that should help you. On the second one , you need to scroll down to read it.

Watercourse

A variable percentage of water is diverted from the Falls via canals and tunnels to provide hydro-electric power for both the U.S. and Canada. The night time illumination of the Falls is actually designed to divert attention to the low water flow (water level is lowest at night). This water diversion has virtually halted the erosion of the rock behind the Falls, which if not for the hydro dams, would be measured in feet per year instead of inches, putting the actual location of the Falls many feet further up river then they are now.
