ANGEL FALLS By: Winson Chen

INTRODUCTION • Hi there I will be your guide on one of the most amazing NATURAL wonders of the Western Hemisphere. Angel Falls is the tallest waterfall in the WORLD. It drops over the Auyán-tepui or “Devil’s Mountain” in the Canaima National Park in Bolívar State, Venezuela. It drops into Cañon del Diablo—“Devil’s Canyon”. And the indigenous name Kerepakupay Vená means Devil’s Mouth. Did you know The Paradise Falls in the Disney movie Up are inspired by Angel Falls. If you want to learn more about Angel Falls, sit back grab some popcorn and enjoy.

HEIGHT • Angel Falls is 979 meters or 3, 212 feet tall • Plunge is 807 meters • TALLEST waterfall in the whole WORLD • It is 10 x taller than South America’s Iguazu Falls.

FACTS • Angel Falls is one of the top 4 most beautiful waterfalls in the world • During the more rainy and wet season the waterfall sometimes splits into 2 • During the more hot and humid days sometimes the water from the fall evaporates before it even touches the ground • At certain times when the water flowing over the falls in plentiful, it is possible to feel small water drops in the air as far as one kilometer away.

HOW WAS IT MADE/HISTORY • Angel Falls was discovered in 1933 • James Crawford Angel or Jimmie Angel flew over Angel Falls in his plane and discovered it by mistake • Angel Falls is a natural wonder so it was made by itself, similar with how other waterfalls are made, Angel Falls was created when the water from a mountain or a hill falls of the side and erodes the rocks and it makes a waterfall

WHY SHOULD IT BE INCLUDED OF THE 7 NATURAL WONDERS OF THE WORLD? • Angel Falls is one of Venezuela's top tourist attractions and is the tallest waterfall in the world. It is one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the world. It truly is a wonder. Although it is VERY hard to get to if you do you better make it all it’s worth. Did you know it is 3 x the size of the Eifel Tower? 3 X! So if you get the chance, so I think it really should be a part of the 7 natural wonders.
