  1. Waterfall & Plunge Pool

  2. Formation of Waterfall 2. erosion in terms of hydraulic action/vertical erosion is serious 3. vertical descent of water/waterfall is formed 1. More erosion on less erosion while less erosion on resistant rock/differential erosion 4. the base of the waterfall is undercut by eddy movement 5. the base is widened and deepened, forming plunge pool

  3. A resistant rock layer is dipping upstream

  4. A vertical resistant rock layer

  5. Bride Pool conglomerate, being more resistant WATERFALL PLUNGE POOL slate, being less resistant

  6. Bride’s Pool A lot of rock debris are found along the river bed

  7. Mirror Pool COOL!

  8. Hydraulic action Do you want to try?
