How do waterfalls help to form gorges?
In a waterfall the river falls over a cliff edge into a deep plunge pool at the bottom, where there are weak levels of rock which have been excavated more quickly than that overlying rock. The force of the swirling water around the rocks causes hydraulic action and abrasion which deepens the plunge pool. This leads to the undercutting of overlying rocks, this rock eventually collapses and the waterfall goes upstream leaving a gorge ahead of it.
How is a waterfall or gorge formed?
A gorge forms when the process of waterfall formation (when hard rock collapses into the plunge pool as there is no rock underneath to support it) then repeats itself. The waterfall retreats upstream, eventually causing a gorge to be formed. H.H.K. :)(:
How is a Plunge pool formed?
Under the force of natural sources like rapids or waterfalls, plunge pools are formed. Bridge abutments and spillways due to scour from objects also form plunge pools.

How is the waterfall is formed?
Well a normal waterfall is formed from hard rock being at the top of the falls. Beneath this hard rock, is softer rock. When the water falls off the edge of the hard rock, the hits the bottom; this is called a plunge pool. The plunge pool is also made of soft rock. When the water hits the plunge pool, some waters splahes back up and hits the back of the bottom of the falls, eventually, this wears away at the bottom making an indentation, this process is called undercutting. So when the water flows over the hard rock at the top, it doesn't erode away as fast as the soft rock, if it did, it would just slope and looks like a river, this is what makes waterfalls so magnificant. So when the water from Angel Falls flows over the edge, its a free fall, this means that it doesnt hit the side of the waterfall. So once it has hit the bottom or the plunge pool, it slowly erodes. Over a long period of time, the plunge pool will get deeper and deeper. Here is an image from the web, it explains it alot easier, So type in Angel Falls.
