Niagara Falls



Located on the Niagara River, between the province of Ontario and the state of New York. And it is formed for three waterfalls with a vertical drop of more than 50 metres.


These Falls were formed because of glaciers at the end of the last ice age, and water that formed Great lakes carved a path through the Niagara Escarpment en route to the Atlantic Ocean.


The Niagara Falls are good known for their beauty and their valuable as hydroelectric power.




QUEBEC


I would like talk about Quebec, because is Canada's largest

province and, besides it has the  most population after           
Ontario.



The majority of inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint

 Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec.
