Here’s why world’s tallest waterfall in Venezuela disappears before it reaches the ground

Angel Falls in Venezuela presents a unique spectacle. Its immense height causes water to turn into mist before it reaches the ground. Air resistance and the sheer scale of the fall break the water into droplets. This fine spray then drifts into the surrounding jungle. Some moisture does reach lower levels, nourishing the environment.
