Waterfalls destroy themselves through having a current that destroys the rock supporting the cliff through which the water falls.

eg:

===="
rock "
rock "
rock "
rock @====== water====

where the @ sign is located there is water turbulance which errodes the base rock of the falls, through this action the stability for the upper rock is taken away and it eventually falls. This can cause a loss of height of the falls, recession of the falls, or change it into a gorge.

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.
