Waterfalls formed by glaciation typically occur when a glacier carves out a valley, creating a steep drop-off as it retreats. As the glacier moves, it erodes the rock beneath it, often leaving behind a hard rock layer that resists erosion. When the glacier melts, rivers may flow over these ledges, creating waterfalls where the water cascades over the steep terrain. This process can result in dramatic landscapes, with waterfalls often found at the edges of glacially carved valleys.

How were the waterfalls in yosemite made?

The cascading waterfalls in Yosemite were made possible by the glaciers that carved Yosemite Valley, which gave the cliffs needed to make the impressive drops possible. The rivers that feed the waterfalls themselves are mostly from snow melt, so often times don't last too long into the summer. Some waterfalls like Vernal Falls, Nevada Falls, and Bridalveil Falls have water year-round, expect of course, in the winter when they become frozen.
