Where does the water from the waterfall come from,why is it endless??Doesn't it run out?

Answer 1

If you are talking of a river and a waterfall, the source of water is the river. And yes, if the river dries up, the water fall would also run out of water.

If you are talking of an artificial water fall, the water is pumped back to the height and allowed to fall (for cooling it or for providing a proper landscape etc.). Lifting the water requires energy, more energy than what can be reclaimed from the water fall by putting a turbine at the bottom of it.

Answer 2

Water from a waterfall is actually part of a larger cycle of water. The water you see in a river, rainwater and the ocean is also part of the same cycle.

The cycle begins at the ocean where heat from the sun causes air to evaporate into the air and become clouds. Clouds eventually roll over land masses due to high winds at high altitudes. When clouds which are peaceful, packed (relative to surrounding air) and therefore high pressure move over land which is turbulent, low pressure it causes the water to become heavier and make collisions. These collisions result in heavier drops which fall as rain.

Once the rain hits the earth it either seeps into the ocean again, or falls on land where it collects in what you know as rivers. These rivers travel from higher land like mountains to lower land like plains and beaches into the ocean again. When a waterfall forms, a river which is constantly receiving water from rain, is actually cutting the rocks underneath to get to the ocean faster.

So, in short, the water from a waterfall comes from the oceans, and it goes back to the oceans eventually.

Answer 3

It comes from snow deposits and snow melt mostly! Although some water comes from rainfall and underground artesian surface breakthroughs! Most comes from the atmosphere and it returns to the surface which eventually migrates to the underground deposits and the ocean by way of the rivers and streams!

Answer 4

there's something called the water cycle,where water evaporates, turns into clouds and then condenses into rain which falls to the ground.

Answer 5

Ah HA ! That's the "BEAUTY" of the "Hydrological Cycle", A WONDERFUL THING, IT IS !
