FAMOUS WATERFALLS


Today we were talking about famous waterfalls and I mentioned the highest waterfalls in the world. Did you know the highest waterfalls are the Angel Falls in Venezuela in South America which are 979m high. Huge!!

The Victoria Falls are considered to be the largest waterfalls in the world. It is located in the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe and has the Zambezi River as its source. It stretches for a width of 1.7 kilometres and also falls from a height of 108 metres.

The Niagara Falls is one of the most powerful waterfalls in the world with about six million cubic metres of water flowing per minute. They are located on the Canada-America border in North America.
