Cause of formation

An area where a flowing river falls suddenly and nearly vertically. The waterfall represents the main interruption in the flow of the river. In most cases, the river is always through the process of erosion and deposition to smooth the flow of irregularities. After a period of time, the long profile (slope curve) of the river forms a smooth arc: the steepest at the source and the gentlest at the estuary. Waterfalls interrupt the arc, and their presence is a measure of the progress of the erosion process. Waterfalls are also called falls, sometimes called cataracts. When it comes to large amount of water, the latter is particularly common. The lower and less steep waterfall is called cascade, which is often used to refer to a series of small falls along the river. In some river sections, the slope is more gentle, but turbulence and white water appear at the local increase of river slope. These river sections are called rapids.
