Explanation
Victoria Falls, also known by its indigenous name Mosi-oa-Tunya, is formed by the Zambezi River and lies on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe. Authoritative sources describe the site as the world’s greatest sheet of falling water located along the Zambezi, with the falls and a series of gorges formed by the river’s erosive action downstream of the cataract [1]. Encyclopedic summaries similarly state that Victoria Falls is situated about midway along the course of the Zambezi River and spans the full breadth of the river at that point, making the Zambezi the correct watercourse for the falls [2].
