Niagara Falls: the beauty and power of nature. Extreme fun in Niagara
Guys! We continue to describe various objects found in nature. This object is formed using water and rocks.
Guess the riddle.
Water rushes from the cliff,
The jets fly with a roar.
Can you guess
What is this - ... (waterfall).
♦ Let’s say the word “waterfall” again. Slowly, syllable by syllable. What two simple words is this compound word formed from? Explain its meaning.
This word is formed from two words: “water” and “fall”. Therefore it means falling water.
♦ How is a waterfall formed?
There are many large and small rivers in our country. Mountain rivers rush wildly and swiftly, while lowland rivers flow smoothly and calmly. But it also happens that a flat river becomes swift and stormy. This happens in cases where its channel is blocked by rocky rocks. Such places are called thresholds. They are very dangerous for shipping.
If the river bed suddenly breaks off in the form of a steep ledge, the water falling from it forms a waterfall.
♦ Where are waterfalls most common?
Right! In the mountains or on the border between flat and mountainous areas.
The world's tallest waterfall is Angel Falls, located in South America on the Churun River. Its height reaches 1054 m.
The most famous waterfall in the world is Niagara Falls (on the Niagara River in North America). The height of the ledge of this waterfall is not so great - about 50 m, but the width is about a kilometer. Translated from Indian, Niagara Falls means “rumbling water”, because its noise can be heard over a distance of up to 25 km!
The largest waterfall is located in Africa, on the Zambezi River.
In our country, the largest waterfall is named after the hero Ilya Muromets. It is located on one of the Kuril Islands. There, a mountain river makes a giant leap from a cliff into the sea. A mighty stream of water falls from a height of 141 m.
A smaller waterfall can be seen on the Suna River in Karelia. It is called Kivach, the water here falls down from a height of 11 m. Many waterfalls can be found in the Caucasus mountains.
♦ Have you ever seen a waterfall? Describe it.
Powerful waterfalls are an unforgettable sight. The water falls down with a deafening noise. It breaks into separate jets, and a cloud of water pearl splashes, foam and tiny water dust hovers around the waterfall.
On sunny days, a bright rainbow plays in the water droplets; sometimes you can see many such rainbows!
Falling from a cliff, the water rushes further and further at great speed.
Many tourists deliberately go on a long and difficult journey to admire the amazing spectacle of falling water.
Listen to the poem.
A waterfall rushes down the mountain,
He doesn't whisper, he doesn't flow,
The water flies with a roar:
Foam, stones, menacing view!
The waterfall rushes down -
Do not fill the jugs with water.
Clouds of pearl splashes,
From the bottom to the top,
Rainbows are burning in the drops!
What a miracle - a waterfall!

Niagara Falls- one of the wonders of the world, located on the border of Canada and the USA. Every second, huge masses of water rush down with noise, a truly breathtaking and amazing sight. Let's take a closer look at one of the most beautiful places on our planet.
Where is Niagara Falls located?
Niagara Falls is located on the Niagara River of the same name, between two states. It is not the largest in the world, its height is only fifty-three meters, but colossal volumes of water pass through it, incomparable to any other. Many people think that Niagara is one waterfall, but in fact there are three of them: American, Canadian and Veil. There are two cities near it: the American Buffalo and the Canadian Niagara Falls.

The history of Niagara Falls
The history of Niagara Falls goes back twelve thousand years. The reason for its formation, like the river, was the appearance of the Wisconsin Glacier; it moved across Canadian territory. Glacial masses compacted rocks and soil layers, creating a unique landscape, river beds, lakes and rapids. After the glacier began to melt, huge volumes of water created soil erosion, as if pushing apart the bowels of the earth, thereby creating entire gorges and cliffs filled with water.
The destruction of the soil continues now, Niagara Falls is gradually moving up to the source of the flow. We won’t see this happen, but according to professors’ estimates, in twenty thousand years it will reach Lake Erie, becoming one huge body of water.
Discovery of Niagara Falls
The discovery of Niagara Falls belongs to Samuel de Champlain in 1604, by pure chance. While studying and mapping the beds of the St. Lawrence River, the scientist learned from local residents about the existence of a small ledge of water between Lakes Erie and Ontario. He put it on the map, and there the Europeans learned in absentia about the new wonder of the world.
The next eyewitnesses of the unprecedented miracle were missionaries in 1640 and 1647, then they called it “a waterfall of terrible height.”
Niagara Falls - a beautiful legend of love
A touching and romantic legend of the local Indian flame is associated with Niagara Falls. It tells about the beautiful Lelavalaya, the daughter of the leader of one of the tribes. Her father, against her will, betrothed her to an honorable warrior; the girl sincerely hated him. Not resigning herself to her fate, she sacrificed herself, throwing herself into the watery abyss, in the name of the bright love of God He-No, the lord of thunder, who lived in a cave. He-No was fascinated by the girl and did not let her die, he picked her up on the fly. Since then, their souls have lived in peace and love, guarding Niagara Falls. This is where its name came from; it literally means “rattling water” in Indian.
Niagara Falls, observation decks.
Extreme fun in Niagara
In the 19th century, an unusual, risky fun appeared - descent in wooden barrels. The first person to descend from Niagara was, oddly enough, an ordinary teacher Annie Taylor; she not only overcame it in a wooden barrel, but most importantly, she survived, receiving only a small wound on her head.
After this strange act, hundreds of extreme sports enthusiasts in wooden barrels rafted through the waters of Niagara, many received serious injuries, often this adventure ended tragically, but there were those who made this extreme jump several times. Every year the sad list of unsuccessful descent attempts grows and it has become a popular place for suicides, a beautiful death in front of a huge public.
Now descending it is prohibited, it is punishable by a large fine and even imprisonment, but despite all the prohibitions there are daredevils or madmen who want to conquer the raging elements.

Excursions at Niagara Falls
The best place to see the natural splendor is at Table Rock Lookout.
Many tourists choose the deck of the Maid of Mist ships. They depart from both sides every thirty minutes, the capacity of one such boat is about six hundred passengers. The price from the Canadian side is 15C$, from the American side 9$. The tour lasts about twenty minutes.
The most interesting part begins when approaching the center of the Horseshoe, the ship goes around it in a circle. At this time, people on the deck are being doused with a mass of water, enthusiastic exclamations and screams can be heard everywhere, many are trying to wrap themselves in raincoats, but this will not help much, water will be everywhere.
You can admire the amazing beauty of Niagara Falls from a bird's eye view by booking a helicopter ride, it will cost $140.
The infrastructure in this area is very developed; you can visit a 3D cinema, where anyone can watch videos related to a local landmark. In the nearest cities, there is a Ferris wheel, various lifts, platforms and terraces, a wax museum, and many attractions.
Note to tourists!
- If you are going to sail on a boat near Niagara Falls, if you have the opportunity, then buy not an ordinary raincoat, but a cellophane overall and swimming goggles.
- The equipment should also be better packed, and in no case should it be missing, otherwise the minimum: it will simply flood, the maximum - you will simply lose it due to a strong flow. It’s better to take beautiful shots from observation platforms.
- Additionally, take a second pair of shoes with you to continue the tour in comfort.
Niagara National Park
Not far from Niagara Falls there is a national park of the same name - a small and cozy place where you can relax a little after a busy excursion. The ticket costs only ten dollars, and parking costs the same. There are several cafes and restaurants in the park where you can eat delicious food, not just fast food, but quite healthy and satisfying dishes. On its territory there is an aquarium, where interesting shows with fur seals are organized for children, as well as a museum dedicated to the discovery, study and interesting facts related to the main attraction. Near the museum there are shops and stalls with souvenirs that will remind you of your unusual journey.
Niagara Falls - winter light show
Traditionally, during the winter festival, which lasts from November to January, Niagara Falls is painted with millions of colors, a spectacle of incredible beauty. Although the waters are illuminated throughout the year, it is during the festival that the colored spotlights are turned on not for just three hours, but for seven or more.
To better enjoy the show, there is a special route along which a small tram runs.
They decided to organize a light show in 1860. In honor of the arrival of the royal person, the Prince of Wales, a grandiose show was staged with colored spotlights and fireworks. Tourists and local residents liked the magical spectacle so much that colored lighting has since been used constantly.
My journey to one of the most picturesque and unique creations created by nature - Niagara Falls.
Today is my birthday, but not my birthday, but my blog’s website!
Exactly 3 months ago, my significant other and I chose a name, registered a website, and I had my first baby :-)
And since today is an anniversary date, this post will be devoted to a grandiose and exciting subject.
Niagara Falls: dream and reality
Since childhood, I dreamed of traveling around the world, studying the cultures and traditions of peoples and countries, exploring nature and admiring the environment.
I remember looking at a beautiful colored book from a friend when I was about 11 years old and promising myself that I would definitely visit these extraordinarily beautiful and interesting places.
One of these places was Niagara Falls.
Niagara Falls: American and Bridal Veil on the left, and Horseshoe in the distance
I was lucky to visit Niagara Falls twice.
The first time in the fall, and the second time in mid-summer. And both times differed from each other not only in the weather and the number of people, but also in the sensations.
But still, perhaps, you remember Niagara Falls when you see it for the very first time.
Although no, not like that. You first hear, feel, and then see Niagara Falls.
The roar and noise of water falling at high speed. Freshness from splashes flying in all directions. The beauty and power of this creation of nature, which truly takes your breath away.
Another proof that it is nature that is the creator of extraordinary, balanced and at the same time bewitching beauty on Earth.
But, unfortunately, we as people have forgotten how to notice and be grateful for the flora and fauna around us, perceiving it as a tribute.
By the way, one of the photographs I took of Niagara Falls was the background of all the pages of this blog for a whole year!
Here she is:
Niagara Falls and some information
Niagara Falls is not just one, but 3! waterfalls located on the border of the United States (New York State) and Canada (Ontario Province) on the Niagara River.
These waterfalls have their own names: Horseshoe Falls “Horseshoe” - the largest of all 3, American Falls “American” and Bridal Veil Falls “Bride's Veil”.
You stand on one bank of the river - you are in America, on the other - you are already in Canada. A small bridge over the Niagara River is what connects the 2 countries.

Bridge connecting America and Canada
Niagara Falls is the most powerful waterfall in terms of volume of falling water.
Niagara Falls is located within a large park, admission to which is free. They don’t charge you money to view the waterfall :)
But if you want to go to local attractions and feel and even touch! waterfall, then you have to spend money. If you buy a special pass that gives you the right to all the attractions of Niagara Falls, it turns out cheaper.
We paid $35 per person. I would like to talk about each of them, because it is thanks to these attractions that you can truly become part of this waterfall!
Attractions of Niagara Falls from the American side
Niagara Falls welcomes in different languages :)
* Maid Of The Mist
This is such a big boat that you board, along with dozens of other people, before putting on an oversized, or rather, huge raincoat. By the way, I kept the raincoats as a souvenir, we had blue ones :-)
The boat, passing by the “American” and “Bridal Veil” waterfalls, comes very close to the largest “Horseshoe” waterfall (it is called a horseshoe because its shape resembles a horseshoe for a horse) and stops there for a couple of minutes.
The noise from the falling water is incredible! It is very difficult to take photographs because the water splashes in all directions. My mascara was washed off in seconds :-)
There is also fog there, and you feel as if you are surrounded by water on all sides. Even the sky merges with the waterfall into one. An extraordinary feeling. Fills with freshness and invigorates.
Then a boat of wet but satisfied people takes them back. This takes about 30 minutes.
Below you can watch the video that I shot from this boat: the first is from the very center of the Horseshoe, and the second is from the American and Bridal Veil waterfalls.
* Cave Of The Winds
The name speaks for itself. Cave of the Winds.
First, you are given special rubber sandals so that your shoes do not get wet and you do not slip. They are disposable, I also kept them as a souvenir!
Then you take the elevator down into an underground tunnel and from there you exit to the foot of the American Falls. There they gave us raincoats, but they were already yellow.
And we walked towards this seething beast. Or rather, the soul under Niagara Falls.
The ladder takes you right under the waterfall, where a stream of quickly rushing cold water hits you.
My God, how I screamed. It was scary and great at the same time when you realize that you are standing under a waterfall and realize how tiny you are compared to your environment.
Having yelled and swam, getting wet to the skin, we went up, again by elevator, and just sat on the grass, basking in the sun. Or rather, I was sitting, and my other half took a nap, resting his head on my lap for an entire hour!!!
* Aquarium
Very nice and well maintained aquarium. Many different types of fish and different marine life. The seahorses were especially touching - they were so tiny and starfish that were in the outdoor pool and you could admire them not through glass. We also watched a performance by Navy SEALs.
I'm not a fan of zoos and aquariums, but what really appeals to me about America is that people really care about animals and nature.
* Trolleybus
A small trolleybus travels throughout the park, which we rode towards the end, when we were tired. Sometimes it seemed like we were walking faster than he was driving!
* The waterfall itself
As soon as it gets dark, Niagara Falls begin to be illuminated and it, or rather the steam from it, shimmers with different colors. The spectacle is indescribable.
The park is very clean and well-groomed, there are many souvenir shops, where I couldn’t resist buying myself a magnet (collecting magnets is my hobby).
We spent the whole day in the park: from morning until late evening.
When we were in October, the temperature was about 22C and the trees were just beginning to turn red and yellow.
In July it was hot, about 30C and there were a lot of people. But after getting wet while boating, we quickly dried out
There are many places to eat in the park, but unfortunately most of them are fast food, which I don’t eat. That's why we had dinner at the restaurant both times. And in the same way, we liked it so much.
It was an Indian restaurant, with a name that was clear even to Russian people - “Zaika”. What translates to “taste” in Hindi, not what you think!
I am a big fan of all kinds of spices and seasonings, so Indian cuisine is one of my favorites. Soon I will share a recipe for Mango Lassi - a traditional Indian fermented milk drink that I simply adore.
Niagara Falls amazes and fascinates with its natural beauty and power. And it makes you think that in the same place you feel differently. But it’s always special if there’s a special person next to you.
I wish all of you, dear readers, to find and cherish this special person in your life!
Love, peace, travel and adventure to everyone! Of course - natural! Posted inTagged,

The “doesn’t exist” tag has been amusing in recent years. For example, “space does not exist” or deserts, quarries, pyramids... They still exist! Just not in the sense in which we were accustomed to perceive from a young age, when words were empty containers for children that should have been filled with fruit juice of associations and meaning, but instead they were filled with sand.
CHAPTER FIRST. WHAT WE KNOW AND WHAT WE DON'T KNOW
Or, more precisely, what do we know about what we don’t know? What is a waterfall? Wikipedia decided to brush it off with logic: “A waterfall is the fall of water in a river from a ledge crossing the river bed. Unlike river rapids, waterfalls are characterized by a sharp drop in the height of the river bottom and a sheer drop.”
Other sources say in the same spirit: “to know what a waterfall is, study what a river is,” although more often the situation is, in my opinion, just the opposite: “to know what a river is, you need to know what a waterfall is " After all, the modern concept of the appearance of rivers is completely worthless. And you don’t need to think that there are no unbearable scientists - there is only a narrow doorway. We are told that the cause of rivers is precipitation... Although, we all often go somewhere, drive through many kilometers of fields and do not see a single body of water nearby. I don’t even say at what distances from each other the CONSTANTLY FLOWING rivers are. So any lawyer will justify the fallout in court - “not guilty.” Also see New Zealand's lake and Sutherland Falls, which plummet from 580 metres.
These are the mountain peaks of the Southern Alps. Can you connect this lake and the constantly falling waterfall with precipitation? “Groundwater” is generally a screen covering many things. For example, in the emerging so-called karst sinkholes, we see that there are no groundwater or rivers nearby. Although their appearance on groundwater is written off, they say, they washed away. It’s not clear where it washed, into what cavities and voids? They tried to find the cause in the pumped-out oil and gas, although “karst” ones appear more often in places where no mining is observed at all along a circumference of many kilometers. You can immediately give up on the melting of glaciers and snow, since we examined “precipitation” above. And in order to finally expel the demon of official science from you, we will perform an exorcism with this text about what is known to the science of sediments.
Scientists don't know why it rains! What do they know? Do not be surprised. In the academies of sciences, they really don’t know why it rains. Modern scientists only state the fact of precipitation and movement of air masses. In understanding the essence of these processes, they are not far behind children... The hypotheses put forward by modern “scientists” raise suspicions about the sanity of those who put forward them. Or, at best, “laughter through tears”... You know, in childhood and adolescence I thought that scientists were “the smartest guys.” That working as a scientist is much more difficult and responsible than working as an electrician or plumber. But maturity came, and not a trace remained of my childhood dreams. It turned out that, being a scientist, you can easily be a complete idiot and write any nonsense. Fortunately, there is no responsibility. A plumber's mistake means a residential building flooded with feces, an electrician's mistake means a fire and injuries. And modern “scientists” can make as many mistakes as they want. No one will fire them and no one will suffer from their activities. Nobody takes seriously the nonsense that they write! I apologize for the long introduction.
So. RAIN. “Scientists” explain rain “by the water cycle in nature.” Allegedly, water evaporating from the surface, rising upward, cools, condenses, forming clouds, and falls to Earth as rain. However, in reality, everything happens completely differently. On the Indonesian islands, where there is constant heat and around the Ocean, there has been drought for months. And in the central regions of Russia it snows constantly in winter. Although it is 20 degrees below zero and the nearest Ocean is thousands of kilometers away! If rain depended on evaporation, it would rain constantly in Indonesia! And in Siberia snow would never fall!
CHAPTER TWO. A VERY IMPORTANT FACT IS VERY RARELY REMEMBERED
Rivers and waterfalls were associated with “groundwater,” although, in fact, waterfalls are more often found in mountains and rocks, just as rivers often begin from there. You can see a lot of different changes in the ground and not a single river flowing from there or a falling waterfall. But we often see them among the so-called “rocks”.
4.jpg
Do you see any hint of a connection with the ground? But we see “rocks”. Pay attention to how smooth the slabs are - it’s not for nothing that they are so.
There are waterfalls in the “rapids” of the river, such as, for example, a long waterfall with the colorful name Victoria:
Niagara:
I will not argue about this type of waterfall, and they are not discussed in this publication. Iguazu Falls, or, as it is also called, “Devil’s Throat,” which is located in Brazil, could also be classified as this type:
But again these even steps of the slabs attract attention:
And there are a number of waterfalls that do not fit into the generally accepted concept at all, and this fact is rarely talked about:
This is the highest Angel Falls.
The length of the tallest waterfall in the world is approximately one kilometer. The water flows continuously from a height of approximately 979 meters - 51 meters more than Niagara Falls. This is Angel Falls, which is located in Venezuela. It was named after the American pilot James Angel, who discovered it in 1937 while flying over these places.
He is interesting to us because he falls from the “cliff” itself.
Do you see any signs of soil here? Just “rocks”. But they instilled in us the associations: “precipitation” and “groundwater,” which made us a little disoriented in our correct perception. Kukenan Falls:
And again we see an amazing case, because of which one would have to shout “fantastic!”, if we take the generally accepted concept as a basis. Waterfalls of the rock itself, right from its tips! No soil, just “rocks”. Where is? Also in Venezuela. And there is a lot of interesting things there.
And it is not surprising that this place was discovered in our time, and they write about it: “Tepui is the only place on Earth where no human has set foot.”
CHAPTER THREE. WATERFALL - A SYMBOL OF DYING LIFE OR REBORN LIFE?
Imagine that we, like chickens in a barn, live under the slate, until the hail breaks through this slate, we will think that this is the sky. In terms of thinking, we really haven’t moved far from chickens. In terms of parameters, compared to the past, we are not even ants.
What happens to grapes if you cut them? That's right, it will start to flow.
Many of you are absolutely right, who already guess that I associate waterfalls and many rivers with “silicon life”. And those who want to turn their noses up: “a new and exotic hypothesis that was introduced as a fashion and therefore implausible”... I would not like to upset you, but they talked about “silicon life” during the Soviet Union. Naturally, in high circles. We, the common people, were given only school textbooks, but the elite had small editions of books marked “strictly for official use.” And from time to time one of us meets the son of an oligarch and gives this book out of friendship to read... This book is rich in illustrations, and it is written all over the place about “silicon life”. In addition to “silicon life,” it also talks about planetary power. About underground cities. About technologies of the past that are superior to ours. About Giants, and of different sizes. Like this: the elite have undistorted knowledge of the world in easy access. What kind do they give us? Those in which, of course, they themselves do not believe, but forced society to believe in them.
You can see this for yourself by arming yourself with a search engine and setting the necessary search parameters: “trunk mountains” and “waterfalls”, then go to the “photos” item, and you will be convinced that the generally accepted view that was imposed on us, the worldview and the way in fact, these are completely different things.
You will see these large streams that fall from the very top of the “rocks”.
According to the generally accepted concept, this is impossible. In terms of silicon, everything is logical.
But this begs a reasonable question, because dead and withered trees do not flow... When, it turns out, was silicon life destroyed, since these “rocks” are still alive? Is silicon life dying or being reborn?
CHAPTER FOUR. STONE IS TREE
“Wooden Rus'”, based on this concept, is not so far-fetched. Rus' mastered the craft not only of the wood of carbon life, but also of silicon. How do you like this “cliff” angle:
Isn't it true that the stump looks like a stump that is overgrown with mold?
The scientific world attributes these stone-wood rocks of silicon life to lava, although they themselves, of course, do not believe in this. The scientific world is created in order to create generally accepted explanations for us - the reasons why we were taxed, and, under the guise of research, they carry out restorations of decorations, as well as extraction of ancient technologies for the government.
Have you ever been bothered by the fact that only certain scientists are allowed to engage in research, while the rest of the services, where ordinary hard workers work, are brought to a “lax” state and left to their own devices? What if you live and are not interested in anything, go to work and elections regularly according to the regulations, then no one cares about you, but as soon as you go beyond the boundaries and start thinking differently from everyone else, then you begin to see absolutely prohibitions on everything in front of your nose?
Brothers from Europe and America, the sensible part of them, say that their dictatorship is exactly the same as ours. I am already silent that hatred between planetary powers and patriotism towards “sovereigns with states” throughout the “planet” are instilled using the same method. This is what a simple cabbage seller from America did to me? Or what did a simple taxi driver from Europe do to me? But TV tells me and you what insidious enemies these are, and how we should hate them. They instill exactly the same hatred towards us so that the planetary power does not awaken.
Who there wanted to dig deeper under the “rocks” and see what was there?
Who was looking for the roots?
CHAPTER FIVE. WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT TREE?
How do we mine coal? Ants do exactly the same thing, covering the stumps with soil and grinding the wood into dust:
In gigantic proportions, but it’s the same trash:
Heavy fallen tree:
Is the tree being cut down for firewood? Please, someone didn't cut the deck:
Another one:
What else do they do with wood, sand it? Here are the drawings that appear on a sanded board:
And here are the polished “rocks” for you:
Isn't it true, one to one?
Here's a more or less exclusive photo:
It’s interesting how official sources describe this tree (Google screenshot from a foreign site):
Not only is the tree called a “sandy rock formation,” which makes it blush, but they also ask for money for this nonsense. And, of course, you correctly noted, if there were giants, and the rocks are wood, then at least somewhere there must be some objects left from the silicon wood.
Someone lost this “chest”:
But the tree has already rotted over time, but it is clear that it was some kind of object:
Former "barn"? We see that the boards in it are completely rotten:
Entrance to the former “barn”:
How do you like this mechanism:
I personally didn’t see an elephant here, I saw a household item. But everyone compares to the extent of their licentiousness, and the scientific world gave this object a nickname - “elephant rock”. If you think like that, then the stool also looks like a horse, but it is not one. Here you can see that the passage is artificial:
But, if you zoom in on the photo and look at what’s inside, you’ll see that a passage was cut through the dead tree itself. How, in relation to us, were the huge giants “little gophers” relative to the tree?
CONCLUSION
I hope you have had an interesting journey into other eyes, from which the world is not as limited as we are led to believe.
IT TURNS out that Niagara Falls is not the largest waterfall in the world!
Niagara Falls - just the most famous waterfall, thousands of tourists come to the USA every year to see it.
“Big” is usually called high or full-flowing (powerful) waterfalls.
So, tallest in the world is Angel Falls in South America in the country of Venezuela. The height of this waterfall is 1054 meters (the height of a 350-story building)!
The waterfall was named after the Venezuelan pilot Juan Angel who discovered it. The fact is that Angel Falls is located, perhaps, in the most inaccessible corner of the earth, and the approaches to the sheer wall of the waterfall are blocked by the jungle - a dense tropical forest, so only the pilot could see it first.
The wild forest here is entirely intertwined with vines and bushes, so they were able to determine the height of Angel Falls only fifteen years after its discovery - the expedition had to be well prepared. To get to the waterfall on the ground, surveyors had to cut a road using axes and machetes. The last 35 km were covered... in 20 days!
It is clear that even today tourists cannot get close to Angel Falls - it is still impossible. We can only believe the stories of scientists that “the waterfall is so high that powerful streams turn into the smallest water dust before they even reach the ground!”
By the way, throughout the year the tallest waterfall in the world looks different: during the rainy season the waterfall is divided into many powerful jets, and in the dry heat it flows undignified...
The most powerful cascading waterfall in the world - Iguazu (height about 80 meters - 25 floors) is called one of the seven wonders of the world. A monstrous mass of water falls over the crest of the ledge of this waterfall - more than 700,000 tons of water per minute. That is, the waterfall throws down a billion tons of water per day! The roar of the powerful waterfall (in Spanish, Iguazu means “devil’s throat”) can be heard for many kilometers.
