Angel Falls
The Angel Falls, named after its discoverer James Crawford Angel, is the world's highest waterfall. It falls from a height of 979 meters and has a plunge of about 807 meters falling to meet the Churun river. It is located in the Bolivar state of Venezuela and has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site where it drops off the edge of the Auyantepui mountain. A lot of its water is expelled as mist much before it reaches the ground.
How it was formed: Angel Falls was made when rain accumulated on the top of Auyantepui and created a path over the edge. This waterfall is not fed by any glacier or stream. It has n upper section where it briefly emerges from the slot canyon and plunges 30 metres or so.
