A Natural Wonder or Not?
Niagara Falls is known for it’s large continuous flow of water and beauty. The waterfall formed naturally, so why isn’t it considered a natural wonder? The Horseshoe Falls was the beginning of the Falls. About 12,500 years ago near the ending of the Ice Age, recession began at the Niagara Escarpment. There the gorge was being cut out by undermined dolostone pieces as they fall from the falling waters of the Horseshoe Falls and winter ice. The Horseshoe Falls also eroded a thick layer of soft shale from the underlying bedrock. This all formed the Niagara Falls. Father Louis H. Hennepin, a Roman Catholic priest, discovered the waterfall in 1678 with the navigation of the Native Americans. When he had been on a quest with Explorer Robert LaSalle. Niagara Falls is from an aboriginal name. Native Americans say “Niagara” means “neck” or “split in the flatland”.
