Water falls over Hard rock. When it reaches the soft rock, the water starts to wear away the soft rock, this is called erosion. Over hundreds or even thousands of years, the soft rock is slowly eaten away or eroded and the river begins to cut down further into the soft rock. This makes a cliff over which the water can topple. Over time, the cliff becomes steeper as more soft rock is eroded, and deeper as bigger boulders come over the waterfall, and the ground gets beaten with more and more rocks until it creates a plunge pool. Some of the water goes under the waterfall and under cuts the soft rock. More of the hard rock begins to fall away and the waterfall slowly moves upstream.
Thank you for this very detailed answer Sam. I wonder how long it took the waterfall at Niagara to form? It must have been many thousands of years and it is such a special shape.
Niagara Falls is the second largest waterfall in the world. It is actually made up of three separate waterfalls, the American Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls and the Horseshoe Falls.
It is illegal to go over the Niagara Falls. A few people have tried, some survived, some were injured and some died.
The first tightrope walker to walk across the Niagara Falls was in 1859.
Thank you Yiting. I knew about the Horseshoe and American Falls but had completely forgotten about the Bridal Veil Falls. I went over the falls in a cable car so I think a tightrope would be very, very frightening.

niagarafalls in Canada and the boat was called the maid of the mist.
A waterfall is often formed where a layer of harder rock overlays a layer of softer rock.
It is pretty amazing to think how the horseshoe falls at Niagara must have been formed. They are a very spectacular shape compared to most waterfalls.
