Скачать или смотреть Niagara Escarpment in Milton

The spectacular Niagara Escarpment encompasses farms, recreation areas, sweeping scenic views, 1675 foot cliffs, clear streams, wetlands, pebbled beaches, rolling hills, pristine waterfalls, wildlife habitats, historic sites, villages, towns, and cities.

In February 1990, the Niagara Escarpment was designated as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. The Niagara Escarpment is one of only 18 biosphere reserves in Canada and is part of an international network of 669 reserves in 120 countries.

The 725 km long Niagara Escarpment began to take shape over 450 million years ago as the bed of a tropical sea. During the millions of years that followed, the sediments were compressed into rock, mainly magnesium-rich limestone (dolostone) and shale. The progressive action of glaciers, water flows, and the elements caused the more resilient dolostone to weather at different rates than the shale, resulting in the very dramatic landforms that we see today: sea stacks, karst formation caves, deep valleys, scenic waterfalls, rugged hills, and perhaps most remarkable, the spectacular cliffs along the Niagara Escarpment itself.

This video only shows the Niagara Escarpment at the Milton area viewed from Tremaine Rd from Britannia Rd to Steele Ave, a distance of only about 6 km.
