Answer -- a lo t
of gallons.
Here are some measurements about
the
Falls ... As for the pictures ... this is 1996,
and DARN I
HAVE A LOT OF HAIR BACK THEN!!!! I recommend heading
to Buffalo after seeing the Falls for some
quality
wings.
- the Canadian
Horseshoe Falls
plunges 52 meters (170 feet) into the Maid of the Mist Pool.
- at the American
Falls the water's vertical descent ranges from 21 to 34 meters
(70 to 110 feet) to the rock
at the base of the Falls.
-
the
Niagara Gorge extends from the Falls for 11 kilometers (7
miles) downstream to the foot of the escarpment at Queenston.
- more than 168,000
cubic meters (6 million cubic feet) of water go over the
crestline every minute during peak daytime tourist hours.
