What is Niagara gorge?

The Niagara Gorge is a gorge carved by the Niagara River in New York State and Ontario, Canada. It stretches for about 11 kilometers (7 miles) from the Niagara Falls to the Queenston Heights. The gorge is between 50 and 100 meters (160 and 330 feet) deep and between 1 and 3 kilometers (0.62 and 1.86 miles) wide.

The Niagara Gorge was formed by the Wisconsin glaciation, which ended about 10,000 years ago. The glaciers deposited a large amount of sediment in the area, which dammed up the Niagara River and created a lake. The lake eventually overflowed and the water began to erode the sediment, creating the gorge.

The Niagara Gorge is a popular tourist destination. The Niagara Falls are located at the head of the gorge and the gorge itself can be seen from several overlooks on both the American and Canadian sides of the river. There are also several hiking trails and boat tours that allow visitors to explore the gorge.

The Niagara Gorge is a natural wonder that is constantly changing. The erosion caused by the Niagara River is slowly widening and deepening the gorge and the waterfalls at the head of the gorge are also changing. The Niagara Gorge is a reminder of the power of nature and the beauty of the natural world.
