That water was let go by the melting ice at the end of the Ice Age about 12,000 years ago. That water (melted ice) drained into the Niagara River. The water jumped over the top of the Niagara Escarpment. The Niagara Escarpment is a long steep slope, which forms the drop part of Niagara Falls. The height of this beautiful landmark is about 167 feet, and the elevation is about 325 feet (51 m). It stretches about 2,700 feet, and it drops between 90 to 120 feet at its crest.

This happened around 12.000 years ago at the end of the ice age. The ice melted and all the water from the ice flowed into the Niagara River forming the falls that lead into the river. This therefore makes the falls formed by water.  The falls are located in New York near a river, on the border of Canada. It is 167 feet tall and flows 85,000 cubic feet of water. The waterfall itself is created by the flowing water off of a steep slope that goes into the river below.

It's currents deposited a bounty of  fossils and sediment, which eventually combined to create limestone, called Escabrosa limestone. In the last 10-15 million years, this Escabrosa limestone, among other layers of rock, uplifted and made the Whetstone Mountains that dwell above the not yet formed caves. However, chunks of Escabrosa limestone and other substances dropped down because of a fault thousands of feet away from the peaks. Rainwater, acidic from absorbing carbon dioxide, formed cracks in the dropped limestone with the help of groundwater, eventually making whole tunnels and rooms. Once the groundwater levels decreased, it was left with large air-filled pockets. Water mixed with minerals dripped down and hardened to make those things on the ceiling of the caverns, called speleothems.
