Nojoqui Falls is a seasonal waterfall in the Santa Barbara County, California park of the same name. == Description == The falls drop nearly 100 feet over a sandstone wall〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=LocalHikes - Nojoqui Falls County Park )〕 of the Jalama Formation. From the sign posted near the falls: "Unlike most waterfalls, which gradually erode upstream, the Nojoqui Falls have built outward from the cliff over time. Calcium and magnesium carbonate from rocks above the falls continually dissolve in the stream water, then are deposited as this water evaporates from the rock around the falls. Stalactites in a cave grow in the same slow manner, and are made of the same type of rock, called travertine. Grooves in the main travertine deposit and a gently curved notch at the base of the falls have formed where the rock has dissolved once again into the stream."
