Instructions

Step 1 (green cloud): In your group, choose a landform or important area in your community (e.g., a park, riverbank, or hill).

Step 2: Think about how this landform might be affected by natural processes (like erosion) and/or human activities (like littering or construction).

Step 3: Come up with ideas to protect this landform. How can you reduce harm or repair damage?

Step 4: Create a simple plan. You can include:

• What needs to be done (e.g., plant trees to stop erosion, pick up litter to keep the area clean).
• Who can help (e.g., classmates, family, community groups).
• When it should happen (e.g., during the spring, after a big storm).

Step 5: Share your plan with the class.

Niagara Falls

Human Impacts

in 1969, the American side of Niagara Falls was stopped by humans to permit geographical studies

This could've been bad for Ontario, as Niagara Falls electrically powers most of the province

After studies were commenced, the Falls was run again

billions of gallons of chemicals have been poured directly into the river over the years

Now would be a great time to start helping!

places near the falls that use a lot of chemicals could gradually be moved away from the falls

Try to limit the chemicals that enter the river

Visitors of Niagara Falls have been dumping their garbage into the falls for years

We can stop now!

All the visitors can try to not throw anything

Stop throwing garbage into the falls

Natural Processes

50,000 years from now, at the present rate of erosion, the remaining 20 miles to Lake Erie will have been undermined. There won’t be a falls anymore but there will still be a river at work.

There's nothing we can do to prevent this - maybe a solution will come in later years

No one

There's nothing we can do - no matter how long we try to prolong it, it's bound to happen either way

In 1848, Niagara Falls stopped flowing temporarily due to an ice jam

Again, this was a past event, so we can't do anything now

No one - as this was a past event

This was totally natural, and the ice melted on its own

A significant natural event in the history of Niagara Falls occurred in 1950, when the falls experienced a major erosion shift that dramatically altered their shape

Again, this event already happened.

Some people redirected the water into the American Falls, stopping them temporarily but benefiting the Canadian side

This event already happened, so we can't do anything about it now
