What is another name for a large powerful waterfall?
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.Source: the book "Washington in the Pacific Northwest"Another name often overlooked is 'Sault' meaning a large powerful waterfall or rapids.
Do all waterfalls form the same way?
Yes and no. They all form as a result of a sudden drop in height in a waterway's bedrock, so that's your yes. The 'no' is the result of the many different forms a waterfall can take, from 'just beyond a cataract' to giant waterfalls like Niagara and from 'on land' to 'underwater'. Just to mention a few forms: the classical waterfall is called a ledge waterfall if the water still retains some contact with the river's bedrock, and a plunge waterfall if it doesn't. The waterfall where water descends over a number of 'steps' is called a cascade. All in all there are some ten species of waterfall (and a number of subspecies) some of them forming in glaciers or even completely underwater. The world's highest waterfall is indeed totally underwater: the Denmark Straits waterfall near Greenland with a drop of 11,500 feet or nearly 4,000 meters.
