That's a very broad question.  Here's a short summary that can be added to:\n1.  Deserts\n2.  Mountains\n3.  Valleys\n4.  Savannas\n5.  Islands\n6.  Atolls\n7.  Hills\n8.  Caverns\n9.  Outcrops\n10. Glaciers

First of all, thanks for the link about the world's oldest chimpanzee Cheetah, that was interesting and so is your this question. \n\nWell, I cannot answer specifically about Niagara Falls ecosystem as I have never been there but, I'll try to provide some info about the typical natural "terrain near a waterfall" ecosystem.\n\nWe can classify such an ecosystem in two broad categories-\n\n1- A little slopy waterfall with a lower intensity flow and lesser amount of water.\nIn India (where I live), such waterfalls can be seen in the lower parts of Himalayas. These are mostly formed by the smaller tributeries of a river.\nEcosystem-\nThe terrain is rocky as the flow of water isn't intense enough to soften up the soil, so, the vegetations are scarce near it BUT, one might find some herbal outgrowths in the slits in the rocks. The abundance of moisture leads to the blooming of some algal, fungal, moss forms. Lichens are also found abundantly there. The chances of finding an animal form there are very low as the water content isn't enough to support enough nutritive stuff for the animals. The animal forms found mostly there are fleas, small frogs and hopping insects.\n\n\n2- A steep waterfall, abundant water, high intensity flow.\nSuch waterfall is generally made by a river/tributory in the first stage of its course.\nThe terrain near a steep waterfall can again be classified into two types-\na) Terrain behind the fall.\nIt is rocky and is same as the terrain near a slopy waterfall.\nb) Terrain around and below the fall.\nIt is muddy and grassy. As the sediments washed by the river or tributory get deposited all around the fall. The most obvious vegetation there is- grass type. The ground is slippery due to the Lichen, algal and moss out-growths. The animal forms most abundantly found in such an ecosystem are bigger (in size) species of frogs and toads, hopping insects like grasshoppers, crickets etc, other amphibians, small fishes, fish-eating animals, some insect-eating birds (e.g. songbirds) etc.

find a mountain, hill, or other land area that is elevated, that collects water.\n\nDig a trench, or path, so the extra water flows through it.\n\nMake sure the path you dig goes into another body of water, like a pond, lake, or other water area.

It's either a type of high altitude grassland (3000m - 3500m) or a ecosystem that exists on wetlands. I am not that sure, but do remember reading about it. Hope it helps.

The freshwater biome consists of freshwater lakes, ponds, streams, springs, and rivers. These are found all over the world. Many are beautifully landscaped, but some are just downright ugly! Most all bodies of freshwater are enclosed by land, but some rivers and streams empty into the oceans at places called estuaries. Lakes and ponds are divided into three zones. The littoral zone is near the shore where plants and animals are abundant. The next zone is the limnetic zone, which is the open water next to shore, where plankton dominate the water. The last zone is the deep part of the lake/pond called the profundal zone. This is where organisms called heterotrophs, which eat dead organisms that float down from the surface. Temperatures vary in summer from 22*C – 4*C and in winter from 4*C – 0*C. In the spring and fall, the top and bottom layers mix and then the average temperature is 4*C. Streams and rivers are bodies of moving water flowing in one direction. They can be found anywhere, but their exact origin is not really known. They may start out as lakes, ponds, springs, or even melted snow. The characteristics change from the source to the mouth. The source is cooler than the mouth. The water is clearer than of lakes and ponds, and has higher oxygen levels. Freshwater animals such as trout, snails, crabs, and clams along with heterotrophs roam the waters. In the middle part of the stream/river, the width increases, it is less shaded, and more organisms including green plants and algae are found here. Towards the mouth, the water becomes murky and light can penetrate only so far. Fish that don’t loss as much oxygen as other fish, such as catfish and carp, live here. The freshwater biome is home to many beautiful and interesting fauna and flora.

Plains\n\nThere are a lot of interesting landforms around the world. A landform is a feature that makes up the shape of the land at Earth’s surface. The three basic types of landforms: plains, plateaus, and mountains.\n\nCoastal Plains\n\nCoastal plains are broad areas along the ocean’s shore. They are often called lowlands because of their low elevations. Elevation refers to distance above or below sea level. As you might guess, sea level has zero elevation. The Atlantic Coastal Plain is a good example of this type of landform. It stretches along the East Coast of the United States. This area is characterized by low rolling hills, swamps, and marshes. A marsh is grassy wetland, usually flooded with water.\n\nInterior Plains\n\nA large portion of the center of the United States is called the interior plains. The interior plains of the United States extend from the Appalachian Mountains in the east to the Rocky Mountains in the west, to the Gulf Coastal Plain in the south. They include the rolling hills of the Great Lakes area and the Central Lowlands around the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers.\n\nPlateaus\n\nIf you would like to explore some higher regions, you might be interested in going to the second basic type of landform - a plateau. Plateaus are relatively flat, raised areas of land. They are areas made up of nearly horizontal rocks that have been uplifted by forces within Earth. Plateaus are different from plains in that they rise steeply from the land around them. A good example of a plateau in the United States is the Colorado Plateau, which lies just west of the Rocky Mountains. The Colorado River has cut deeply into the rock layers of the plateau, forming the Grand Canyon. Because the Colorado Plateau is located in a very dry region, only a few permanent rivers have developed on its surface. If you hiked around on this plateau, you would see a desert landscape.\n\nMountains\n\nPlains and plateaus are relatively flat. If you want to tackle a steep rock face, you must go the third basic type of landform - a mountain. Mountains rise high above the surrounding land, often providing a spectacular view from the top. The world’s highest mountain peak is Mount Everest, in the Himalayan Mountains. It is more than 8800 meters above sea level. By contrast, mountain peaks in the United States reach just over 6000 meters. Mountains vary greatly in size and in how they are formed. The four main types of mountains are folded, upwarped, fault-block, and volcanic.
