Tallest Waterfalls in the World

Waterfall is a condition in which an uninterrupted river flow because the flow through the layers of rocks are harder to a softer layer, resulting in erosion of rocks or a cliff edge or plateau, or the edge of the valley formed by the glacier conditions.

Normally, the river flowed over a large step in the rocks that may have been formed by a fault line. Such as increasing the velocity at the edge of the waterfall, it plucks material from the riverbed. This causes the waterfall to carve deeper into the bed and receding upstream. Often over time, the waterfall will recede back into the form of downstream canyon or gorge like receding upstream, and will carve deeper into the ridge above it.

Waterfalls can occur along the edge of glacial trough, where rivers or streams flowing into the glacier continues to flow into the valley after the glacier has receded or melted. The rivers flowing from hanging valleys. This is tallest waterfalls in the world

Tyssestrengene waterfall is a waterfall near Odda, Norway Tysso fed by the River. Decrease in total 646 meters (2120 feet), while the highest drop is 312 meters (1020 feet). Unfortunately, after their incorporation in the Norwegian Hydroelectric Power Authority, their water flow is reduced to such a point that only after the snow melts the weight is there any substance flow. However, they are among the highest waterfall in the world and, according to Statistics Norway, the highest drop in Norway.
