Angel Falls is located on Mount Roraima
This mountain is different from other common mountains around the world due to its unique appearance. The formation time of this mountain reaches two billion years ago. When the American continent separated from the African continent, ocean water flowed from Africa to America. This continent has lands that are full of these waters.
This event, together with the erosion of soft soils, causes a new structure to be found. These natural events cause the formation of quartz stones. These mountains have a low height, but Roraima Mountain has a height of about 2810 meters. This mountain is made of hard Kuratz rock. This large quartz is formed in such a way that it looks as if someone has carved it.
This mountain is not only unique because of its appearance, but another reason for this is the existence of a waterfall that flows over it. Nothing has been discovered about the formation of these waterfalls so far, so that even scientists have not been able to come to a conclusion about the existence of tunnels and caves and all kinds of animal species on this mountain.
