How waterfalls are formed.
Waterfall forms are classified by the way the water travels along it’s course. Listed below are several of the various forms of waterfalls.
A plunge fall descends vertically from the stream losing contact with the surface it followed.
A horsetail fall descends vertically or nearly so with contact of the surface it followed while spreading out wider and wider as it falls.
A fan fall is similar to a horsetail fall except it grows much wider as it continues downward.
A punchbowl fall descends from a wide stream but drops to a narrow stream into a pool below.
A Block Fall descends from a wide stream.
A tiered fall descends from a distinct series of several falls that remind me of stair steps.
A segmented fall descends as the stream diverges into multiple threads.
