Waterfalls, plunge pools and potholes
Description
An illustrated explanation of waterfalls and how they are formed.
Classroom Ideas
Students should use annotated diagrams to explain the formation of a waterfall, demonstrating understanding of the different hardnesses of rocks involved and the different erosion processes that take place. Relate this to a case study, identifying key features in photographs. Explain the movement of a waterfall upstream and the creation of a gorge with reference to maps.
