Geological Forces Shaping Niagara

Millions of years of powerful geological forces have shaped the iconic Niagara Falls, carving out the dramatic gorge and sculpting the three main waterfalls – the American Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls, and the thundering Horseshoe Falls. This geological history is truly fascinating:

The falls were formed by the erosion of the Niagara Escarpment, a steep cliff that extends across the region.

The Horseshoe Falls, the largest of the three, are slowly receding upstream due to the relentless power of the Niagara River.

Glacial activity during the last ice age played a significant role in the formation of the Niagara Gorge.

Ongoing erosion continues to reshape the falls, making each visit a unique experience.
