Are waterfalls destructive if so how?

Waterfalls are both destructive and constructive. The flow of the waterfall over the land erodes it over time through a process called erosion, destroying or destructing it. Also, waterfalls construct new land and landforms by erosion at the same time. It's very complex, but it's not that hard if you imagine the flow breaking the ground below it down shorter and smaller creating yet destroying at the same time a landform.
