In such cases, the waterfall may not be the end product of many years of water action over a region, but rather the result of relatively sudden geological processes such as [[landslide]]s, [[Geologic fault|fault]]s or [[volcano|volcanic action]].<br /> <br /> Waterfalls may also be artificial, and they are sometimes created as [[garden]] and [[landscape]] ornaments.<br /> <br /> ==Formation ==<br /> [[Image:Waterfall formation23.png|thumb|350px|right|Formation of a waterfall]]<br /> Typically, a river flows over a large step in the rocks which may have been formed by a fault line. Over a period of years, the edges of this shelf will gradually break away and the waterfall will steadily retreat upstream, creating a [[gorge]] of recession. Often, the rock [[stratum]] just below the more resistant shelf will be of a softer type, meaning undercutting, due to splashback, will occur here to form a shallow cave-like formation known as a [[rock shelter]] or plunge pool under and behind the waterfall. Eventually, the [[outcrop]]ping, more resistant cap rock will collapse under pressure to add blocks of rock to the base of the waterfall. These blocks of rock are then broken down into smaller boulders by [[attrition]] as they collide with each other, and they also erode the base of the waterfall by [[abrasion]], creating a deep [[plunge pool]].<br /> <br /> Streams become wider and more shallow just above waterfalls due to flowing over the rock shelf, and there is usually a deep pool just below the waterfall because of the [[kinetic energy]] of the water hitting the bottom.<br /> <br /> Waterfalls can occur along the edge of [[glacial trough]], whereby a stream or river flowing into a [[glacier]] continues to flow into a valley after the [[glacier]] has receded or melted. The large waterfalls in [[Yosemite Valley]] are examples of this phenomenon. The rivers are flowing from [[hanging valley]]s.<br /> <br /> types of fuckits nd materials<br /> fuckit top-varying sizes usually found in antique shops etc...<br /> bottel -anything ll do bottles off the street but two liters are best to get maximum effect<br /> tinfoil-if ur skint r jus a fruit<br /> water-the main ingrediant in the mix this helps with the chemical reaction which takes place<br /> shitty expinsive bought ones which arent reallty fuckits but thyre like $19 quid<br /> <br /> ==Examples of large waterfalls==<br /> <br /> :{{main|List of waterfalls}}<br /> Significant waterfalls include these alphabetically:<br /> * [[Angel Falls]], the world's highest at 979 [[metre]]s (3212 [[Foot (unit of length)|feet]]), in [[Venezuela]]<br /> * [[Bridalveil Fall (Yosemite)|Bridalveil Fall]], California - 189 m (620 ft) high: sheer drop when flowing<br /> * [[Cascata delle Marmore]] in [[Italy]] is the tallest man-made waterfall in the world<br /> * [[Gocta]], the fifth-highest in the world at 771 m (2533 ft), located in the province [[Chachapoyas Province|Chachapoyas]], [[Peru]]<br /> * [[Kaieteur Falls]], (Potaro River in central Guyana) located in the Kaieteur National Park, a region that is also claimed by Venezuela.
