Experts Seek to Halt Niagara’s Retreat of Horseshoe Falls
AP reports scientists seek to slow Niagara Falls erosion as the Horseshoe Falls carries over 95 percent of the river’s flow. The Niagara Control Board in Washington discussed plans to distribute erosion more evenly, with no immediate timetable for a final plan. The fall sits atop soft shale and sandstone, undermining its top limestone cap as water wears away the cliff, carving a deep gorge since 1842.
