The Cemerung Waterfall is located in the Dungun District, Terengganu state in Malaysia. It is estimated to be 250 metres tall.

There is a river halfway, known as the Paka river. The first road to the left in front of the river leads to a junction, which is at the coordinates 04° 35.854' N 103° 12.542' E. From this junction, it is about 30 km on a tarred road to the Entrance of the Recreation Park.

Waterfalls Of Malaysia
A waterfall is a point in a river or stream where water flows over a vertical drop or a series of steep drops. Waterfalls also occur where meltwater drops over the edge of a tabular iceberg or ice shelf. Waterfalls can be formed in several ways, but the most common method of formation is that a river courses over a top layer of resistant bedrock before falling on to softer rock, which erodes faster, leading to an increasingly high fall. Waterfalls have been studied for their impact on species living in and around them. Humans have had a distinct relationship with waterfalls for years, travelling to see them, exploring and naming them. They can present formidable barriers to navigation along rivers. Waterfalls are religious sites in many cultures. Since the 18th century they have received increased attention as tourist destinations, sources of hydropower, andparticularly since the mid-20th centuryas subjects of research. Definition and terminology A waterfall is generally d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
