Using a scale-model riverbed 24 feet long and one foot wide, a team of scientists found a new mechanism that could form waterfalls without the commonly thought of external forces such as tectonics, ...

Waterfalls are graceful monuments to nature's power. In each gentle curve and thrilling plunge, these watery edifices record the dynamic forces thought to be key players in their formation, allowing ...

The breathtaking waters that cascade off of steep cliffs may be self-made productions. It was long thought that waterfalls needed an outside force to form — such as an earthquake, landslide or changes ...

Waterfalls are furious cascades of water, sometimes scoring the landscapes in which they flow as they obey gravity’s demands. From Iceland’s shimmering Skógafoss to the family of falls in New ...

Scientists observed waterfalls forming simply through the movement of water downhill in a new laboratory study—a result that could complicate our understanding of Earth’s history. Waterfalls may be ...
