Victoria Falls, or Mosi-oa-Tunya (Tokaleya Tonga: the Smoke that Thunders), is a waterfall in southern Africa on the Zambezi River at the fringe of Zambia and Zimbabwe.
The falls are structured as the full width of the stream dives in a solitary vertical drop into a transverse gorge 1708 meters (5604 ft) wide, cut by its waters along a crack zone in the basalt level. The profundity of the abyss, called the First Gorge, shifts from 80 meters (260 ft) at its western end to 108 meters (354 ft) in the inside. The main outlet to the First Gorge is a 110 meters (360 ft) wide hole around two-thirds of the route over the width of the tumbles from the western end, through which the entire volume of the stream puts into the Victoria Falls gorges.
