When a river flows from an area of harder rock to an area of softer rock, it typically begins to erode the softer rock more quickly, leading to the formation of features such as waterfalls or rapids. This transition can create a distinct change in the river's gradient and flow characteristics. Over time, the erosion of the softer rock can also result in the formation of valleys or gorges as the river carves its path through the landscape.

What process creates waterfalls?

Waterfalls are typically created by erosion, where a river or stream flows over different layers of rock at varying rates, causing the softer rock at the base to erode faster than the harder rock above. Over time, this differential erosion results in a steep drop or "waterfall" where the river cascades down to a lower level.
