Synthesis
Niagara Falls is comprised of three waterfalls: Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. Horseshoe Falls is predominantly located on the Canadian side, while American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls are situated on the U.S. side. Bridal Veil Falls is further distinguished by being separated from American Falls by Luna Island. Horseshoe Falls is also known as Canadian Falls and is generally considered the largest of the three, with Bridal Veil Falls being the smallest.
These waterfalls are collectively known as Niagara Falls and are located along the Niagara River, which forms part of the border between Ontario, Canada, and New York, USA. While the three waterfalls straddle the Niagara River, there is disagreement on whether Horseshoe Falls itself straddles the Canada-U.S. border or if all three waterfalls are located at this border.
