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.


What happens when water runs over rock for a long time?

Over time, water running over rock can erode the rock and create smooth or jagged formations. This process is known as erosion and can lead to the formation of features like waterfalls, canyons, and river valleys. Erosion depends on factors such as the strength of the rock, volume and speed of the water, and the amount of time the water has been flowing.

What are retreating waterfalls?

A receding waterfall is: a waterfall that through hydraulic action and corrasion, slowly over thousands of years moves backwards. this happens because the water flowing over the fall erodes the earth below and creates a plunge pool, the earth that was worn away is used to corrode the soft rocks at the base of the waterfall, after the base is corroded the harder rocks above are unsupported and collapse due to gravity. this process happens over and over again and that is how waterfalls recede.
