i will tell answer please follow me ok
Explanation:
Softer layers of surface rock erode. Erosion and geologic uplift often work together to create gorges. ... As rivers or streams flow across this uplifted surface, waterfalls form. Over time, the power of the waterfall erodes the softer rock layers underneath, causing the original river bed to collapse and create a gorge.

Answer:
Waterfalls often form in the upper stages of a river where it flows over different bands of rock. It erodes soft rock more quickly than hard rock and this may lead to the creation of a waterfall. ... A steep-sided gorge is formed as the waterfall retreats.
