The Delaware River primarily flows over sedimentary rock types, including sandstone, shale, and limestone. These rocks are part of the Appalachian Mountains' geological formations. In some areas, particularly in the upper reaches, the river also encounters metamorphic rocks. The diverse geology contributes to the river's unique ecosystems and landscapes.

Do all rivers erode at the same rate?
No; in fact the rate of erosion not only varies from river to river, it depends on the type of rock the river flows over, the rate of flow and the season.
What is formed when a river flows from an area of harder rock to an area of softer rock?
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 is a fact about waterfalls?
Sometimes, a waterfall when a river flows from hard rock to softer rock. The softer rock, such as limestone, is easily eroded, or worn away, by the flow of the river.

What type of rock does the Victoria Falls have?

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.
Where a river flows from an area of harder rock to an area of softer rock the softer rock may wear away eventually forming a drop?
