 Q3. Source 3 provides information about retreating gorge of Niagara Falls. Read the
source and answer the question.

Evolution of Niagara Falls

The geologic forces that formed Niagara Falls started working about 16,000 years ago
during the last Ice Age. A glacier more than a mile thick covered the northern regions of
the North American continent from Ohio to New York, according to the NYSM. As the
ice retreated, it carved out the Great Lakes.

About 12,000 years ago, waters draining the lakes found a low-lying pathway and
carved out a channel — the Niagara River. Lake Erie and Lake Ontario were split
between higher elevations and lower elevations and the water drained from the upper
lake to the lower over the Niagara Escarpment and eventually created a waterfall.

When Niagara Falls formed, it was about 7 miles (11 km) downstream from where it is
today. Even now, erosion continues to push the falls farther upstream at a rate of about
a foot a year. By some estimates, the river will erode back to Lake Erie in about 50,000
years, cutting through an escarpment and through soft shale and beginning to drain
Lake Erie.
