Niagara Falls |
|
In Augst 1989, I gone to America first for import fertilizer technic. We visit a turbine compressor plant of Dresser-Rand Corp. It located in Olean city where is about 100 KM distant from Buffalo. After visit plant, we have the greater part of a day time for waiting flight to Houston. So we was arranged to visit the famous Niagara Falls near Buffalo

Use the satellite map, I understood the cause of forming the Falls |
|
Erie lake is in west south side of the figure, its altitude is 174M; Its north side is Canada, south is America; Ontario lake is in east north side of the figure, its altitude is only 75M. A land with bar form between the two lakes and separate them . There is a Niagara River in the land and link the two lakes. The superelevation with 99M and the cliff of displacement in the Niagara river formed the Niagara Falls |
|
|
|
| Niagara river flow to a cliff of the Goat island, the falls was formed. Its rate of flow reached 6740 stere/Sec. |
|
|
|
The Goat island made the Niagara river from one devides into two. The left side in the figure is American Falls (Within the boundaries of America); its width is 305M, fall is 50.9M; The right side in the figure is Horse shoe Falls (Within the boundaries of Canada); its width is 793M, fall is 49.4M, its rate of flow is 19 times of the American Falls. So it is more grand sight. |
