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 rock types involved and the different erosion processes that take place. Relate this to a case study, identifying key features in photographs and explaining the movement of a waterfall upstream and the creation of a gorge with reference to maps.
