| Photo ID: h4w34i | Subject: Satellite Imagery | Description |  Cascades; Niagara River; Photogeology; Rapids; Remote Sensing | The Niagara River forms the U.S.-Canadian Border and allows Lake Erie to drain northwest into Lake Ontario. Lake Ontario is about 100 m lower than Lake Erie; Niagara Falls and the rapids account for most of the elevation difference. Details of the city of Niagara Falls are easy to see in this satellite image; for spatial reference, the American falls is 328 m wide (1075 ft), and the Horseshoe Falls is 675 m wide (2200 ft). The energy derived from water falling over the falls, with average total flows of 750,000 U.S. gallons (2.8 million liters) per second, fuel multiple power plants on the river. Power Plants downstream from the plant generate 4.4 million kilowatts of power for both Ontario and New York | | | Photographer | Location | NASAVE
