SSC CHSL 2023 PYQ — Question 40

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Cataract.

 

A cataract is a type of waterfall characterised by a large volume of water falling over a cliff or rocky terrain. It is typically powerful and dramatic due to the enormous flow of water, often creating thunderous noise and mist. Famous cataracts include Victoria Falls and Niagara Falls. In contrast, a cascade involves water flowing over a series of small steps, rapids refer to turbulent, fast-flowing sections of a river, and chutte is a less common term for a waterfall.
