The rate of erosion depends on factors like the volume of water going over the edge, the height of the drop, and the type of rocks that make up the base of the waterfall.
侵蝕率取決于許多因素，如經過懸崖面的水流量、瀑布高度及構成瀑布底部的巖石類型。
At Niagara, the volume of water is very high.
尼亞加拉大瀑布水流量非常大。
In fact, one-fifth of the world’s fresh water empties from the Great Lakes Superior, Huron, Michigan, and Erie over the falls into Lake Ontario.
事實上，全球五分之一的淡水源自五大湖蘇比利爾湖、休倫湖、密歇根胡和艾爾湖，它們流經大瀑布最終進入安大略湖。
Niagara is the second largest waterfall in the world.
尼亞加拉大瀑布是全球第二大瀑布。
Before you cancel your honeymoon suite with the heart-shaped tub, keep in mind that in the past 12,000 years the falls have moved about seven miles upstream and,
當你取消配備有心形浴缸的蜜月套房前要知道：在過去的12,000年，大瀑布已經上移了七英里，
at this rate, they will disappear into Lake Erie in just under 23,000 years.
照這個速度推算，再過不到23,000年，它就要永遠地消失在伊利湖了。
Enough time to visit on a honeymoon–and even a second honeymoon.
不過，這足夠進行一次蜜月之旅，即便是第二次蜜月之旅也來得及。
