What is a Waterfall?
- Answer: A waterfall is a body of falling water that flows over a vertical drop or series of drops in the course of a stream or river. It usually happens because the river is flowing faster than the surface below it (and so causes erosion).
How many visitors does Victoria Falls get per year?
Victoria Falls is one of the most incredible natural wonders in the world and every year it attracts over 3 million visitors. The falls are on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, with most people visiting them from Zambia. The waterfalls are over 1.5 km wide and 100 m tall (that’s almost 300 feet), making them easily visible from space! Victoria Falls is also one of the largest waterfalls in the world by volume at an astounding 2,600 cubic meters per second—that’s enough to fill almost 50 Olympic swimming pools!
The name “Victoria Falls” originated from John Currey, a European trader who visited what was then known as Mosi-oa-Tunya (“the smoke that thunders”). In 1855 he named it after Queen Victoria of Great Britain, who had recently ascended to power after her husband King Edward VII passed away unexpectedly two years earlier due to pneumonia complications from influenza during an overseas tour..
Waterfalls can be very tall and powerful.
Waterfalls can be very tall and powerful. Imagine stepping in front of a waterfall! It would be loud and the water would probably be icy cold. The force of the water hitting your body would knock you over, but you’d get up again because you’re strong like that!
Some waterfalls are so loud that they make noise even in winter when there’s no rain to make them flow faster or harder. They can roar like lions or thunderstorms, but other times they might whisper quietly—all depending on how much water there is flowing over them at any given moment.

Angel Falls is the highest waterfall in the world, and the world’s highest uninterrupted waterfall. It has a height of over 3,000 feet (914 meters).

What type of waterfall is Angel Falls, the tallest in the world?
Angel Falls is a waterfall in Venezuela that’s more than 3,212 feet (979 m) tall and plunges down into the rainforest. It’s named after Jimmy Angel, who discovered the falls in 1937 while searching for gold.
How many people have lived at the base of Angel Falls without ever seeing it?
The answer is: no one knows the exact number.
The falls are in a remote area of Venezuela, which means there’s not a lot of infrastructure around to provide any kind of reliable data collection. This makes it hard to determine how many people have seen Angel Falls (or even know about its existence), since most people don’t go there unless they’re taking a tour or visiting as part of an expedition. And even if they do go, getting to the base and seeing the falls up close can take days or weeks.
If you want to see these majestic waterfalls for yourself, your best bet is coming with an organized tour that includes transportation from Caracas and accommodations at one of several campsites set up by tour operators near the falls themselves.

The Zambezi River carries more water than any other river in Africa, with a volume of over 1/2 trillion gallons every day!

The widest waterfall in the world is Angel Falls, located near Venezuela’s border with Brazil. At 3,212 feet wide and 979 feet tall (that’s about two and a half times as tall as Niagara Falls), Angel Falls is so named for the pilot who crashed his plane just below its peak.
Angel Falls has been called “the Eighth Wonder of the World” by such luminaries as Charles Lindbergh and Richard Halliburton. It is said that when you stand on top of it after dark, you can hear all sorts of strange sounds: voices crying out, children laughing, even thundering noises that sound like horses galloping over rocks!
How old do you think Niagara Falls are?

- The Eastern Cataract and
- The Western Cataract.
The falls are located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, a part of Africa called “the heart of darkness” because it was once so remote from European settlements that it seemed like a mythological place. In fact, when Europeans first heard about them from local people they thought they were being told tall tales.
