The most powerful waterfall in the world is Niagara falls,right here in America.

I mean that but its also scientific .
The things that became Niagara Falls were created by the Wisconsin glaciation about 10,000 years back. The same power also created the North American Great Lakes and the Niagara River. All were dug by a
ice sheet that drove through the area, deepening some river channels to form lakes, and damming others with debris.
Scientists argue that there is a valley, buried by glacial drift, at the approximate location of the present Welland Canal. I wonder if I want to see it happen? Hmm..............
There are differing theories as to the beginning of the name of the
falls. According to Indian scholar , "Niagara is derived from the name
given to a branch of the locally residing native Neutral Confederacy,
who are described as being called the Niagagarega people on several late
17th century (Old!) French maps of the area."
According to another man, "it comes from the name of an Iroquois town
called Ongniaahra, meaning the land was cut in two." Wow, nice.
Dare devils:
and deaths:
Laws stop people from doing tricks,of course, and we still enjoy Niagara falls anyway, but people (with permission from the government) still do it. Speaking of them, we're seeing one on Sunday, next week! Exciting, ain't it!
