I’m fascinated by all things aquatic…

An actual waterfall (not synthetic). P/C Pexels.

… so it’s not a huge surprise that I would search for the world’s largest waterfall, wondering if I could visit it sometime.

But I have to admit that I was very surprised by the answer. It was so surprising that I spent another hour looking into the world’s largest waterfalls–Where are they? Why are they there? What causes them?

My little bit of curiosity-driven research led me to a completely different understanding of waterfalls. I bet it will do the same for you. Can you find the answer to this week’s Challenge?

1. What is the world’s largest waterfall? (This is pretty simple.)

2. Where is the world’s second largest waterfall? (This isn’t so simple.)

This Challenge can lead you into long digressions about deep ocean currents and edifying excursions into eddies of knowledge. Enjoy the journey as you search for the answers!

And be sure to let us know how you found the answers. We all want to learn how you did it.
