Question

How is a waterfall formed?

Answer 1

Waterfalls are an example of spectacular landforms formed by the rivers in mountains. They are formed in two ways:

1. When the slope of a river bed drops down all of a sudden, the water plunges down from the mountain in the form of a magnificent waterfall.
2. Faulting may also result into a break in the land surface and hence, the slope of the river bed drops and results into waterfall.
