The Falls!!

Here are the answers to the two questions that you were to answer as a homework assignment.

1. The picture you are looking at is a small boat named Maid in the Mist taking some tourists near the giant falls known as Niagara Falls.

2. First, I must tell you that there are two sets of falls...an American side and a Canadian side. The Canadian Horseshoe Falls drops an average of 188 feet into the Lower Niagara River. The height of the American Falls ranges between 70-110 feet.


Here are a few sites on the falls:

1. This is a live webcam of the falls - http://www.fallsviewcam.com/

2. This site is a digital library of the falls - http://www.nflibrary.ca/nfplindex/start.asp?db=images

3. This site includes a picture and true story of how they turned off the falls! http://www.hq.usace.army.mil/cepa/pubs/nov99/story16.htm
