অসাধারণ বিস্ময়কর এক মহান প্রাকৃতিক সৃষ্টি নায়াগ্রা জলপ্রপাত | প্রকৃতির এই আশ্চর্যজনক জলপ্রপাতটি কানাডার অন্টারিও এবং যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের নিউ ইয়র্ক সীমান্তের মাঝখানে নায়াগ্রা জলপ্রপাত অবস্থিত। ধারণা করা হয় প্রায় ১0 হাজার বছর আগে নায়াগ্রা ফলসের সৃষ্টি হয়েছিল ।
নায়াগ্রা ফলস মূলতঃ তিনটি ঝর্ণার সম্মিলন –
1. American Falls- 287 metres - drops 27 metres
2. Bridal Veil Falls- 37 metres - 14 metres
3.Canadian (Horseshoe) falls- 670 metres- drop of 57 metres
দ্যা হর্সশু ফলস বা কানাডা ফলস হচ্ছে সবচেয়ে বড়। বলা হয় নায়াগ্রা জলপ্রপাতের প্রায় ৯০ ভাগ পানি এই ফলস দিয়েই পতিত হয়।
এই তিনটি ঝর্ণার মধ্যে ‘আমেরিকান ফলস’ ও দ্যা ব্রাইডাল ভেইল ফলসটি আমেরিকার সীমান্তে এবং হর্সশু ফলসটি কানাডা সীমান্তের ভিতর অবস্থিত।
Niagara Falls Is Around 10,000 Years Old
As the last Ice Age began to change, around 12,000 years ago, new landscapes and rivers were formed from the glaciers. When this happened, Niagara River was created and, shortly after, Niagara Falls was born. Niagara Falls is the largest waterfall in North America in terms of volume and width. Approximately 3,160 tons of water flow over the Falls every second.
Three Waterfalls
Some people think that Niagara Falls is just one giant waterfall, but actually, there are three in total. There are the
1. American Falls
2. Bridal Veil Falls
3.Canadian (Horseshoe) falls
The name ‘Niagara Falls’ is just a collective name for all three of the waterfalls together.
The Canadian Horseshoe Falls are the highest and widest of the three Falls, measuring 670 metres (2,200 feet) across with an average drop of 57 metres (188 feet). The American Falls is 287 metres (940 feet) wide and drops 27 metres (90 feet) to 37 metres (120 feet). The Bridal Veil Falls is about 14 metres (45 feet) wide and drops the same as the American Falls
American and Canadian Side
Niagara Falls sits in the middle of New York, in the US, and Ontario in Canada. This means that people can visit from either (or both) countries. In New York, tourists can see the sights from the Prospect Point Park Observation Tower, and from Ontario, there is a range of large tourist areas which visitors can use to access Niagara Falls.
30 Million Visitors a Year
It is estimated that around 30 million people visit Niagara Falls each year, with numbers rising all the time. Some come just to take a quick snap, whereas others stay to explore everything Niagara has to offer. One of the most popular attractions is the Maid of the Mist Boat cruise, which takes visitors right into the falls.
Hydroelectric Power
Niagara Falls was the largest hydropower facility in the Western World when the first hydroelectric project went live in 1961. It now produces a phenomenal amount of electricity for the US state of New York, around 2.4 gigawatts. There are several hydropower plants in and around Niagara Falls now, all producing electricity for America and Canada.
The word Niagara means, “a Thundering noise.”
90% of the fish that go over Niagara Falls survive. It is most likely that the white foam and air at the base of the Falls act as a cushion.
The rapids above the Falls reach a maximum speed of 40 km/h
The fastest speeds occur at the Falls: 109 km/h
The Niagara River is about 58 km long.
Just below the Niagara Falls Canada is the deepest section in the river, it is 52 m.
