Water flows rapidly downwards, drops more than the stairs of cliffs and right after falling, it splashes and the particles develop phenomenal colors of rainbow. This is normally the child of a river and the water passes via several courses over several resistants. We are speaking about ” Waterfall ” which is certainly the pearl of the scenic beauty of a mountain zone. In our beautiful planet, earth, several kinds of waterfalls are current like cascade, multi-step, frozen, block, horsetail and segmented and so forth.
