Imininingwane ejwayelekile mayelana nezimpophoma zaseNiagara
Izimpophoma zaseNiagara ziyinkimbinkimbi yezimpophoma ezintathu. Itholakala emngceleni wezifundazwe ezimbili: i-USA (New York State) neCanada (Ontario) emfuleni wegama elifanayo. Ukuxhumanisa kwale ndawo kungama-degree angama-43.0834 degrees latitude kanye nama-degree angama-79.0663 entshonalanga. Impophoma ihlanganisa amachibi ayingxenye yamachibi amakhulu aseNyakatho Melika: i-Erie ne-Ontario.

INiagara ayiyona phakathi kwezimpophoma ezinde kunazo zonke emhlabeni, kodwa ngenxa yamanzi amaningi adlula kuyo, ithathwa njengenye yamandla amakhulu eMhlabeni. Ngomzuzwana owodwa, udlula ngokwawo ngaphezu kwamamitha ayi-cubic ayizinkulungwane ezinhlanu zamanzi. Ububanzi beHorseshoe Falls ngamamitha angu-792, i-American Falls - amamitha angama-323.
