the
basic
science
involved
in
the
management
and
protection
of
aquifers
and
watersheds.
The
report
describes

processes
involved
in
waterfall
formation.
Related
features
such
as
chasms
and
plunge
pools,
as
well
as
headward
erosion
and
migration
are
also
portrayed.
Users
can
stop,

fast
forward
and

the
animation
at
any
time.

This
Flash
animated
slide
show
illustrates
the
development
of
a
waterfall
by
demonstrating
the
way
that
soft
rocks
are
more
quickly
eroded
downstream
than
hard
rocks.
The
animation
also
reveals
the
way
rapids,
steep
backwalls,
plunge
pools,
overhangs,
and
gorges
develop
as
well
as
the
way
waterfalls
retreat
up
stream.
