How are waterfalls formed?

Waterfalls are amazing - but what is a waterfall? What are the different kinds of waterfalls? Where do waterfalls come from? In this video, I discuss how waterfalls are formed. Including visiting some waterfalls and doing a demonstration of waterfall formation.

The final section of the video, complete with the background music and all, almost brought tears to my eyes. Amazing storytelling!

I love that you talk about the waterfall and how form. I never thought that a waterfall flowing backwards. And that cut into the land to make different sizes of waterfalls. So thank you very much for teaching about different kinds of waterfalls.

I found your video researching "fall lines." So....I think people who study "fall lines" can provide a lot of information to you. There are actually many people who study waterfalls. The entire country was build on the study of things like waterfalls. I literally just learned this today. And on that journey...I found this video.

I declare that the study of waterfalls should be called waterfallology - because it's fun. 😅

Question is.. it's not raining everytime so where this continuous water coming from as River can't climb over mountain as well..

You forgot to tell that without trees theres no waterfall

all i want to see is the point where the water starts

So waterfalls are a product of torrential rain? It doesn’t seem possible when watching the Niagara Falls that there could be so much non stop rain 🤷🏻‍♀️
