what are the human and physical features of niagra falls
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niagara_Falls
Other than the fact that Ontario, Canada, is on one side of the falls and New York, USA, is on the other, I can't think of any "human features" of the falls. Physical features? Look at the photos and read the descriptions
=)
Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. If you read the history of Niagara Falls you will find all the people involved in that history. Other than that, could you mean the tourist center, the water park? Many tourists visit the falls in the boat "Maid of the Mist" and there is a DVD on the falls with the description "the human achievement and human folly" of the falls!
A similar question was asked here in September of last year but never answered.
Writeacher has already given you a great site to visit.
Another "human" aspect of Niagara Falls is that many couples go there to get married. Very romantic place.
The is a old Tesla designed power plant on the island between the two sides. Stairs carved into the side if the gorge. To he flow if the river is controlled. The is a tunnel to the cave underneath. The are fences to keep people from killing themselves. The is a foot bridge called the peace bridge (I think). Human "made" features.
Also it is not a wilderness area. Niagra Falls is a town in NY state. And another city in Ontario. It is the name of two cities not just a water fall. Two cities with plenty of features and histories tied to the falls, not just via tourism.
Niagara Falls is a natural wonder located on the border of Ontario, Canada, and New York, USA. When discussing the human features of Niagara Falls, it refers to the human activities and attractions associated with the falls. These include:
1. Tourism: Niagara Falls is a popular tourist destination, attracting millions of visitors each year. The falls are a spectacular sight to behold, and tourists can get close to the falls on boats like the "Maid of the Mist" or through various observation points.
2. Visitor Centers: There are several visitor centers on both the Canadian and American sides of the falls that provide information, exhibits, and interactive displays about Niagara Falls and its history. These visitor centers offer educational resources for visitors to learn more about the natural and cultural significance of the falls.
3. Parks and Recreation: The Niagara Falls State Park on the American side and the Queen Victoria Park on the Canadian side provide visitors with scenic views, walking trails, picnic areas, and other recreational activities. These parks allow people to enjoy the natural beauty and tranquility of the falls.

Regarding the physical features of Niagara Falls, they include:
1. Horseshoe Falls: This is the largest of the three falls that collectively make up Niagara Falls. It gets its name due to its horseshoe-shaped crest. Horseshoe Falls is located on the Canadian side and is larger and more powerful than the American Falls.
2. American Falls: This waterfall is located on the American side and has a straighter and narrower crest compared to Horseshoe Falls. It is separated from the Bridal Veil Falls by Luna Island.
3. Bridal Veil Falls: This waterfall is located next to the American Falls and is separated from it by Luna Island. Bridal Veil Falls is the smallest of the three falls.
4. Gorge and Niagara River: The waterfalls are formed by the flow of the Niagara River, which connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. The river then continues through a deep gorge downstream of the falls, showcasing stunning rock formations and scenic views.
