yeeeee thanks bb

Answer 5

Horsetail: Waterfalls that fan out as they drop into a steep slope but maintaining contact with the underlying cliff face usually fall into this category. The name of this category derives from the fact that some might observe the shape the waterfall under this circumstance resembles a horse's tail. In terms of waterfall formation and evolution, these types of waterfalls are either younger than the plunge types or the hard rock layer is steeply sloped. Examples of waterfalls in this category include Nevada Falls, Sanddalsfossen, and Manawaiopuna Falls.

Answer 6

Plunge: Waterfalls that drop vertically usually without touching the underlying cliff face fall under this category. As you'll see in the course "How Are Waterfalls Formed?", waterfalls typically well into the evolution of waterfall formation evolve into this category. Sometimes you can even go behind these types of waterfalls! Examples of this are Bridal Veil Falls near Raglan, New Zealand, Mangawhero Falls, Steinsdalsfossen, Nobe Young Falls, and Snoqualmie Falls.

Answer 7

Tiered: This category of waterfalls describes waterfalls that have more than one vertical leap or tier to it from the perspective of a singular vantage point. This definition could have problems as in the case of the Nevada Falls and Vernal Fall combo. But most waterfalls that get into this category have more obvious multiple tiers closer together such as Belmore Falls, Mitchell Falls, Gullfoss, and Sutherland Falls.

Answer 8

Cascades: Waterfalls in this category basically descend along a sloped surface. From the standpoint of waterfall formation, the falls could be in the early phase of its evolution or the underlying hard rock layer is sloped and water is moving along it. Sometimes you get stepped formations if the individual tiers are too small to count as a tiered waterfall. Examples of waterfalls in this category include Chilnualna Falls and Tokopah Falls.
