Most of the water flows over the Horseshoe Falls. They are not as high as the American Falls, but they are 2,600 feet (792 metres) wide–about 0.5 mile (0.8 kilometre). The American Falls are about 1,000 feet (305 metres) wide. Beyond the falls are the Whirlpool Rapids. There, the powerful swirling water has carved a bowl out of the rock. At night, colored lights shine on the thundering falls. About 10 million people visit Niagara Falls each year.

Dissertative Text - Air Travel
The first obvious advantage of air travel is that it is quick. You can fly from Europe to America in a few hours, and with the introduction of supersonic planes, travelling time between continents is getting shorter. It is very easy and comfortable to travel by plane; someone looks after your luggage and all you have to do is to get on, sit down, relax and enjoy a meal or a film. Your comfortable seat is reserved and there is excellent waitress service. Another point in favour of air travel is that it is relatively cheap, especially for long-distance travel.
On the other hand. However, travelling by air has some disadvantages. Perhaps the most important is that, for example, you fly directly to your destination and you have no feeling of travelling from one country to another. Another point (disadvantage) is that because (as) air travel is so quick, people going long distances non-stop often suffer from tiredness; so they save time travelling, but waste time recovering. It also happens that passengers are often delayed by fog and other weather conditions.
Anyway, I think that the advantages of travelling by plane outweigh the disadvantages, mainly when you have to travel long distances and want to save time.
