Question

WATERFALL FORMS IN............... ​

Answer 1

Answer:

waterfalls form as streams flow from soft rock to hard rock. This happens both laterally (as a stream flows across the earth) and vertically (as the stream drops in a waterfall). In both cases, the soft rock erodes, leaving a hard ledge over which the stream falls.

So how do waterfalls get formed?

Answering this question is really a lesson in geology (the study of rocks or the earth) and the water cycle. But before we get into those topics, let’s first walk you through the waterfall formation process.

WATERFALL FORMATION PROCESS

Waterfall formation is based around the basic principle that there is a watercourse (realize that water is an erosive agent) traversing over different layers of rock each with different rates of erosion. In other words, you have a river or stream flowing over hard rock (where erosion is slow) and also flowing over soft rock (where erosion is more rapid).
