Waterfalls

The highest waterfall in the world is Salto Angel Falls on the Rio Gauja in Venezuela at 979 metres (or 3212 feet).

Splashing

The rapids produce kinetic energy, which will then be converted to electrical energy. Change in river altitude (head) is potential energy

The biggest waterfall in the Amazon river is the Ocapocysic waterfall

Waterfalls can be a valuable resorce when used for hydroelectricity or fishing.

Or as the case of Niagra Falls, a thing of natural beauty in itself and thus will attract numbers of tourists - indeed a major local industry.

According to the Farmer's Almanac, Niagara Falls Historical Society and stories I read as a child the Falls did at one time slow to a mere trickle. On March 29, 1848 a storm caused ice to dam up at the mouth of the Niagara River causing both Falls (Horseshoe and American) to slow to a trickle. By the next morning the dam broke and the flow returned to normal.

waterfalls doesnt effect earth it actually helps earth with plants and animals

because deccan plateau is greater than plains water falls down creating a waterfall

Multnomah Falls in Oregon.

7,900 and the name thegreat

cuz it falls from a river........... who knows but they're really pretty

Waterfalls are really sudden changes in the paths of ordinary rivers. The water flows along the river bed, and where there is a sudden drop, the water falls to the continuation of the river below. I have never heard of any waterfalls that are fed in any other way, although I suppose it might be possiblethat there might be a spring fed waterfall somewhere. Rivers are the usual source.

That depends on the river. Some rivers across the planet are so polluted that their waterfalls are very smelly and the water downriver is covered with foam for many kilometers. Thus, if the fall is near the spring, the water is fresh, the further you get downriver, the bigger chances are that it is polluted.

The Hoover Dam is only one dam. If you are talking about all the dams on the Colorado River there are six dams Glen Canyon dam, Hoover dam, Davis dam, Parker dam, Paulo Verde Diversion dam, and Imperial dam.

Rivers are areas where water has been channelled through an area with banks that are higher than the waters surface. Rivers flow in a direction that is dictated by gravity which causes the water to flow or fall.
Waterfalls are when flowing water from a stream or river comes to a verticle drop or drastic change in elevation causing the water to fall over the edge.

over 7200 people have died at the Niagara falls

The Iguazu Falls are are the largest waterfalls system in the world.

Waterfalls put oxygen in to the water which first helps the fish breath well and second make the plants grow even better which means more food for us.

Waterfalls can also generate hydropower. Gravity from water gushing down waterfalls can produce huge amount of energy with the right methods of harnessing it.

The high altitude causes wet and windly weather, you could be far away from amenities ie, shops etc.

Some of the disadvantages of living near mountains are that it is usually cold, wet and windy. Also, there is no communities nearby or schools for children. If there was an emergency, then the nearest hospital would be over an hour away! In these mountains there will be many waterfalls so it too cause many problems to human health.
