:''This article is about the waterfall, Burney Falls. For the state park, see McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park.'' Burney Falls is a waterfall on Burney Creek, in McArthur-Burney Falls Memorial State Park, Shasta County, California. The water comes from underground springs above and at the falls, which are 129 feet high, and provides an almost constant flow rate of 379 million litres per day, even during the dry summer months. The falls are an example of river drainage regulated by stratigraphically-controlled springs, and also of a waterfall formed by undercutting of horizontal strata. The falls were called "the Eighth Wonder of the World" by President Theodore Roosevelt,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=McArthur-Burney Falls State Park )〕 and were declared a National Natural Landmark in December 1954.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Burney Falls National Natural Landmark )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Burney Falls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
