What is a place where river flow over a steep drop into a pool below?
A waterfall.
Does the niagara river take a steep plunge over a drop called a delta?
no waterfall
What is the foam at the bottom of a waterfall called?
the foams are called "turbulent rollers" and form when a shooting (fast moving stream which cascades over a steep drop) deposits at the base, where large debris is left as the river lessens its load.
What creates a waterfall?
A waterfall is created when a stream flows over erosion resistant rock that ends in a sudden drop or falling away.
What is it called when a river flows over a cliff?
When a river flows over a cliff, it is called a waterfall. This occurs when the river encounters a sudden drop in elevation, creating a dramatic cascade of water. Waterfalls are commonly formed by erosion and can vary in size and height.
What causes a river to deposit sediment?
Most sediment washes or falls into a river as a result of mass movement and runoff. Other sediment erodes from the bottom or sides of the river. Wind can also drop sediment into the water. Hope I helped! -DorkyGeek77
Why does a delta form often where a river empties into the ocean?
A river ends its journy when it flows into a body of water such as a ocean or lake. Because the river water, such as an ocean or lake. Because the river water is no longer flowing downhill, the water slows down. Which makes sediment drop to the bottom. Sediment deposited where a river flows into into an ocean or lake builds upa landform called delta.

Stream velocity does it have anything to do with discharge of stream or stream elevation?
Stream discharge physically depends on two factors: stream cross-sectional area and velocity. Area is composed of width and depth. Q (flow) = vel x width x depth. Stream elevation change, or how steep a stream is, will affect the velocity. Higher sloping streams (like those with few meanders) will travel faster than sinuous, snaking streams that have a lower elevation drop per length of stream.
A steep drop-off often from the edge of a plateau?
escarpment
