What river flows over Victoria Falls?
Victoria Falls, or Mosi-Oa-Tunia is located in southern Africa on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe on the Zambezi River. It is a natural one drop waterfall of 355 feet. It was named in honor of Queen Victoria by David Livingstone, the first European to view the waterfall. It is also known as Mosi-Oa-Tunia, or "The Smoke that Thunders."
Victoria Falls is the world's largest sheet of falling water but not the tallest waterfall on the planet.

David Livingstone was a Scottish explorer. No mention of that in the text.

What's the difference between "largest sheet of falling water" and "tallest waterfall"??? BTW, I answered correctly.

As an African missing this is shameful.
