As they erode, the falls are moving upstream, so they will one day disappear into Lake Erie.
随着不断被侵蚀,大瀑布也在逐渐向上游移动,因此,终有一天,大瀑布将消失在伊利湖ZlVTA&#Eo~y%
Like all waterfalls, Niagara erodes because water wears away the softer rock at the base of the cliff, where a turbulent pool forms below the waterfall.
像所有的瀑布一样,尼亚加拉大瀑布遭受侵蚀是因为水流不断地冲刷悬崖底部硬度较低的石头,而瀑布下方形成湍流池qf-Hiz2WOw*Xc.y^E
Because erosion affects the base of the cliff, the old cliff face will collapse and the new edge will be slightly upstream.
因为侵蚀会影响悬崖底部,陈旧悬崖因侵蚀坍塌,新的悬崖形成并将逐渐往上游移动,Cx(Z+%D8|5@WKQH
