Reorder the following to create a waterfall
The soft rock is eroded quicker than the hard rock and this creates a step
As erosion continues, the hard rock is undercut forming an overhang.
Abrasion and hydraulic action erode to create a plunge pool.
Over time this gets bigger, increasing the size of the overhang until the hard rock is no longer supported and it collapses.
This process continues and the waterfall retreats upstream, forming a gorge
Label a feature at each stage of the course of a river
Reorder the following to form a meander
The development of meanders is due to both deposition and erosion.
On the inside bend, water is slower and deposits sediment
This forms a slip off slope
On the outside of the bend, energy is higher, this causes erosion, forming a river cliff
Over time, the meanders change shape, moving across the floodplain
