- formation of a waterfall
- step 1: the river erodes the soft rock downwards. soft rock is weaker to hydraulic action so erodes faster. it creates a plunge pool
- step 3: the hard rock now has no support so falls into the plunge pool. this creates even more erosion
- step 4: the process then starts again!
- step 2: the water and the rocks in the plunge pool erodes it even more by attrition, hydraulic action and abrasion
- step 3: the hard rock now has no support so falls into the plunge pool. this creates even more erosion
