A waterfall is a body of water in which water flows over the edge of a cliff into a plunge pool under it. Waterfall usually forms as rivers flow over various bands of rocks; from hard rock to soft rock both vertically and laterally. The soft rock is being eroded away, undercutting the hard rock which later collapse. A hard ledge is formed over which the stream falls. This way, a waterfall is formed.
