Many bodies of powerful water are also called this, but a name for a large,powerful, and tall waterfall is a CATERACT.
True but it's actually spelled cataract. there were large waterfalls in Spokane before where the glaciers damed the water, water pressure got so high, the glacier dam collapsed ice, debris, and water reached up to fifty miles per hour and carved through stone and earth carrying Huge boulders miles from where it came from. This repeated 50 years over and over again for about 2,000 years. the site of today's city of Spokane was repeatedly covered by water 500 feet deep.
