Question about Waterfalls? submitted by Carol on February 9, 2009 This post was in response to Why Do We Care About Waterfalls? What is the kinetic water called when it falls and hits the bottom? It means the same as loss of energy. We can’t think of the word, can you? It’s like dead water. Thanks, Carol 2 Comments*Enter your name*2 characters minimum.Do not change these fields following 8 + 3 =
