The Niagara Falls have a total height of 167 feet with three separate waterfalls that delineate the border between Canada and the United States. According to estimations, in approximately 50,000 years the Niagara Falls will cease to exist due to soil erosion. As of 2014, Niagara Falls is the largest producer of electricity in the state of New York. In 1950 Canada and the United States signed a treaty limiting the water usage by the power plants to maintain an uninterrupted flow of water and the natural beauty for tourists to enjoy. As of 2014, four people have survived a jump from the top of the Niagara Falls without protection.
Mount Everest established the first published height of Everest, then known as Peak XV, at 8,840 m (29,002 ft). The current official height of 8,848 m (29,029 ft) as recognised by China and Nepal was established by a 1955 Indian survey and subsequently confirmed by a Chinese survey in 1975. In 2005, China remeasured the height of the mountain and got a result of 8844.43 m. An argument regarding the height between China and Nepal lasted 5 years from 2005 to 2010. China argued it should be measured by its rock height which is 8844 m but Nepal said it should be measured by its snow height 8848 m. In 2010, an agreement was finally reached by both sides that the height of Everest is 8,848 m and Nepal recognises China's claim that the rock height of Everest is 8,844 m
