A story about the beauty of waterfall water. Niagara Falls is one of the most beautiful wonders of nature
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. Which two? simple words Is this compound word formed? 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 highest waterfall in the world 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 carries 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 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!

Waterfalls are an amazing natural phenomenon, fascinating with their beauty and sometimes frightening with their power. Where they exist, waterfalls are invariably extremely popular tourist places. Perhaps, tons of water falling with a roar is a sight that is worth seeing with your own eyes at least once in your life.
- The highest waterfall in the world is located in Venezuela, in the Canaima National Park. Streams of water fall from one mountain plateau to another from a height of 1034 meters. This Falls is called Angel (translated as “Angel”), it received its name in honor of the aviator James Angel - in 1933 he flew over the waterfall, trying to see from the air the deposits of diamonds that the aborigines were talking about. Interestingly, this waterfall falls from a mountain called Auyantepui, which translates as “Devil’s Mountain.”
- Most wide waterfall on Earth - the Khon Cascade in Laos. The total width of this waterfall on the Mekong River exceeds 10 kilometers.
- Another powerful waterfall– Victoria, located in West Africa. It falls from a height of 120 meters with a width of 1800 meters. This is the only waterfall in the world that is simultaneously more than a kilometer wide and over 100 meters high.
- The famous Niagara Falls is constantly in motion - it moves 70-90 centimeters per year. This may seem like very little, but by now the waterfall has already moved more than ten kilometers from its place of origin. If the movement continues, in 20 thousand years Niagara will reach Lake Erie and disappear forever.
- The sound of Niagara can be heard 2 kilometers from the waterfall during the day, and as much as 7 kilometers away at night.
- The European “Land of Waterfalls” is Norway. Moreover, 14 of those waterfalls that are located on the territory of this state are the highest on the European continent, and 3 are among the ten highest waterfalls in the world.
- Scientists have found that the sound of a waterfall has a beneficial effect on the human psyche, calming him down and helping him cope with stress.
- The sound of falling water also helps birds navigate during migration (see bird facts).
- The most famous valley of waterfalls in Russia is called “Thirty-three waterfalls on the Dzhegosh stream”, it is located in the Caucasus, near Sochi. The waterfalls here are no higher than 10 meters, the length of the cascade is about one and a half kilometers (see facts about Russia).
- Waterfalls exist not only on land, but also on the bottom of the world's oceans. It is extremely difficult to study and observe them, but the existence of at least 7 such waterfalls is known for certain. They occur in places with complex bottom topography due to differences in temperature and salinity of the water. The largest underwater waterfall is located between Greenland and Iceland, in the Gulf of Denmark. Its dimensions are impressive - height 4 kilometers, length 200 kilometers.
- The largest waterfall created by human hands appeared in Italy thanks to the work of the Romans. The height of Cascata del Marmore is 165 meters.
- There is a “bloody” waterfall in Antarctica - its streams are rusty-red in color, and the reason for this is the high concentration of iron oxide in the water. The unusual waterfall flows from the Taylor Glacier, and its source is a lake covered with 400 meters of ice (see facts about Antarctica).
Waterfalls are some of nature's most beautiful and impressive creations. The sight of water falling freely through the air and crashing on the ground in a cloud of splashing and thundering roar is truly one of the most beautiful experiences in life.
In addition, most of the waterfalls are located in pristine, breathtaking terrain, and beautiful rainbows can always be seen in the areas near the waterfalls.
Bird's eye view of Angel Falls The world's tallest Angel Falls was discovered by American pilot Jimmy Angel in 1935 while he was prospecting for gold in southeastern Venezuela. He was flying his small plane through a narrow canyon when he noticed an arrow of water rushing from a height of 979 meters from the tepui down to the mountainous tropical lowland.
The Tugela Falls in South Africa are almost as high, with a total height of 933 meters. (Some sources indicate a height of 850 meters, while it is still the second highest). However, not many people have heard of Tugela Falls because it is not the tallest waterfall.
The tallest waterfall in North America, Yosemite Falls is the sixth tallest waterfall in the world.
Located in Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California, it presents a fantastic and breathtaking spectacle. In fact, other than Angel Falls, few people have ever heard of any other tallest waterfalls.
The fact is that most high waterfalls are located in remote mountains, far from human eyes. And besides, they are usually found on small rivers. After all, many rivers are born in the mountains, where they must flow for a long time, receiving more and more water from their tributaries, before they become really large. But what if a river like the Amazon, Nile, or Mississippi falls off a cliff? One such super waterfall is Khon Falls on the Mekong River in Laos.
Its height is only 22 meters, yet an average of 11,000 cubic meters of water flows through it per second. Read on.
Much more famous is the waterfall on the Nile River in Africa. Educated in Uganda national park Murchison Falls. But the largest waterfall in the world, consisting of a single stream, is another African giant, Victoria Falls. Situated on the mighty Zambezi River in Zimbabwe, this fearsome giant lets out a deafening roar as a wall of water approximately one mile wide crashes down to the ground from a height of almost 120 meters.
The story of the discovery of Victoria Falls is also known. The first European to see it was David Livingstone, who named it after Queen Victoria. Iguazu Falls The most spectacular waterfall creator in the world is the South American Parana River.
On one of its tributaries, on the border of Brazil and Argentina, is the Iguazu Falls. A series of rocky and wooded islands divide the river into approximately 275 streams that fall 280 feet from cliffs more than two miles wide.
Water flows averaging about 1,600 cubic meters per second increase to more than 11,000 during times of flood. In 1986, Iguazu Falls was declared a natural heritage of humanity by UNESCO. You've probably never even heard of it big waterfall on the ground. Located downstream on the Parana River, Guaira Falls had 7.5 times the average flow of Iguazu.
Unfortunately, it was flooded by the construction of the Itaipu Dam in 1982. Niagara Falls North America's most famous waterfall is located near the middle of the Niagara River, which flows from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario.
On one side of the island in the river is the long, straight line of the American Falls; on the other is the graceful crescent of Horseshoe Falls. Both fall approximately 51 meters, together forming the famous Niagara Falls. Etienne Bruhl, the first European to see Lakes Ontario, Erie, Huron and Superior, may also have been the first to see Niagara Falls, in 1615. Of course, it was hidden deep in the wilderness 400 years ago.
Today, Niagara Falls is famous mainly because it is located near one of the world's largest population centers. Of course, this is an amazing sight, even if it cannot be compared with some of the giants in other countries. The American Falls plummet from 21 to 33 metres, while the Canadian Horseshoe Falls plummet from 51 meters into the Pond of the Maiden of the Mists. More than 4,300 cubic meters of water rushes through the falls every minute during peak flow. Niagara has gained particular fame as a place that attracts lovers. The falls also appeal to daredevils, scores of those who have found fame—or death—trying to survive one of the fastest river floats around, a drop of no more than five seconds from Niagara Falls.
A wooden barrel could even be considered official vehicle waterfall If you think that there are many huge waterfalls in the Himalayas and Andes, you are not alone, I thought the same thing. Yet, even though Asia is the largest continent, there is only one waterfall worthy of making the list. North America puts on a whole show with half a dozen superwaterfalls.
Yet tiny Norway surpasses Canada, the United States and Mexico combined in this part - as many as eight. With France and Switzerland having one super waterfall each, Europe easily beats the other continents with a total of ten waterfalls for the record books. Even tiny, arid Australia has three times as many superwaterfalls as Asia.

Ecology
A waterfall is one of the most impressive miracles that nature has given us. The sight of a powerful stream of water falling from an incredible height fills us with awe.
Many tourists and photographers flock to these places to get a charge of admiration and once again be convinced of the greatness and beauty of the world around us.
Here are some of the tallest, most powerful and incredibly beautiful waterfalls from around the world.
1. Victoria Falls, Zambia and Zimbabwe
Famous explorer David Livingston named this waterfall in honor of the British Queen Victoria, and local residents They call it "Roaring Smoke". Victoria Falls is incredibly loud, and the fog that forms as the Zambezi River falls 108 meters into the gorge rises several hundred meters in height. The width of the waterfall is slightly less than 2 kilometers, and with a strong flow, about 12,000 cubic meters of water per second passes through here.
2. Niagara Falls, USA and Canada
Niagara Falls is probably the most famous waterfall in the world, the name that first comes to mind when you think of the word "falls". It is located on the border between the state of New York in the USA and the province of Ontario in Canada. Although there are dozens of much taller waterfalls in the world, few can compare with Niagara's volume of falling water, which reaches 2,800 cubic meters per second. If you are planning to visit Niagara Falls, you can take the Maid of the mist boat ride to get to the horseshoe of the falls.
3. Reichenbach Falls, Switzerland
Nestled among the deep gorges and massive peaks of the Alps, the Reichenbach Falls are perhaps best known as the site of the death of the famous character Sherlock Holmes. Arthur Conan Doyle was so delighted with the beauty of this 250-meter cascade near the town of Meiringen that he decided that it was in such a place that the last battle between the famous detective and Professor Moriarty should take place. The waterfall can be reached by cable car in Willingen.
4. Kaieteur Falls, Guyana
At 251 meters high and 100 meters wide, Kaieteur Falls is not only twice the height of Victoria Falls and five times the height of Niagara Falls, it is also the most powerful in the world. It is located in pristine rainforest in the ancient Guiana Highlands. On the way to the waterfall you can see colorful Guiana cocks of the rocks, blue butterflies and other amazing animals.
5. Iguazu Falls, Argentina and Brazil
Another waterfall, located on the border of two countries: Argentina and Brazil, was included in UNESCO World Heritage List and is one of the seven new natural wonders of the world. The waterfall was formed as a result of a volcanic eruption and is divided into separate streams by various islands. Of the 275 Iguazu Falls, the Devil's Throat Falls is considered the highest, reaching 80 meters in height. During the rainy season from November to March, the volume of water flow can reach 12,750 cubic meters per second.
6. Detian Falls, China
p>Detian Falls forms part of the border between China and Vietnam and is the fourth most big waterfall located on the border. This waterfall may not be comparable to the previous ones in terms of height, width and incredible volume of flow, but it can definitely be called one of the the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. Streams of water framed by karst rocks and rice fields create an unforgettable experience. Best time To visit this waterfall - mid-summer.
7. Gullfoss Waterfall, Iceland
Gullfoss Waterfall is a magnificent 32 meter high two-stage waterfall on the Hvitau River. Water from rain and glacial runoff, especially in summer, creates one of the largest flows here in terms of volume in the world. On a sunny day, the sky is filled with many rainbows, and in winter, snow and frost on the rocks give it an extraordinary shine.
8. Sutherland Falls, New Zealand
To the south of the most beautiful fjord Milford Sound New Zealand's South Island is one of the most famous waterfalls of this country - Sutherland Falls. This incredibly tall waterfall, 580 meters high, falls from a lake located in the valley. Many tourists claim that the noise from the falling water of Sutherland is much more deafening than near other more famous waterfalls.
9. Jim Jim Falls, Australia
Jim Jim Falls is a classic rectangular waterfall with a powerful stream of water that falls from a height of 215 meters from straight rocks Kakadu National Park in Australia. The best time to view this waterfall is during the rainy season, which lasts from December to March. But by June, powerful streams turn into a thin stream of water.
10. Angel Falls, Venezuela
Angel Falls is the tallest waterfall in the world. Its height reaches 979 meters, and the height of its continuous fall is 807 meters. It is located in national park Kainama in Venezuela and included in the list World Heritage UNESCO. The waterfall was named after James Angel, an American pilot who discovered it in 1937. It is so high that during the dry season the water evaporates before reaching the ground.
Angel is located in a wild, remote area and is not easily accessible. Tourists who want to admire this natural wonder are offered tours by river and by air.

Tag "does not exist" in last years amuses. 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 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.
Length itself high 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 it was for you interesting trip into other eyes, from which the world is not as limited as we are led to believe.
