  SGM: The Waterfalls
There are often multiple waterfalls on the same stream close together, sometimes there are multiple waterfalls on the same stream quite far apart, and sometimes different names are used for the same falls.
For relative certainty about what waterfall is being referenced, see also the general location and reference for the quoted heights of the falls or Latitudes, Longitudes and Altitudes.
Waterfalls without any height estimates at all are given alphabetically in the lower part of the table.

 Waterfall
A waterfall is a geological formation resulting from a stream flowing over an erosion-resistant rock formation that forms a sudden break in elevation.
Some waterfalls form in montane environments where erosion is rapid and stream courses may be subject to sudden and catastrophic change.
In such cases, the waterfall may not be the end product of many years of water action over a region, but rather the result of relatively sudden geological processes such as thrust faults or volcanic action.

 Help | World Waterfall Database: World's Tallest Waterfalls
Waterfalls of a Fan form occur when the breadth of the water in the waterfall increases during it's decent, causing the base of the falls to appear much wider than the top of the falls.
Low volume waterfalls, or waterfalls with a shallow slope, on the other hand, have a lower rating, because they don't have as much force.
This system rewards high-volume waterfalls, and waterfalls with a shallower slope, over more vertical waterfalls (because there is more square acreage to low-gradient waterfalls, and hence more volume in the waterfall), and is best used to compare waterfalls based on volume, rather than height or size.
