Waterfall is a stream, or river with water flowing from above to below, with a large angle, fast flowing water, can create water waves and whirlpools.
There are 2 types of waterfall as multi-level waterfall and large waterfall.
Multi-level waterfall is a type of waterfall with a large stream of water flowing through many consecutive steps, rocky layers.
Big waterfalls are huge waterfalls, created by large rivers when flowing through complex terrain.
The reason for having a waterfall is due to the river running through it, encountering hard rock, not being eroded. Along with soft rock is eroded to create low step, high order, also known as river hierarchy.
Besides, during the tectonic process, geological activity creates faults, pushing up the upper part of the river, lower part of the waterfall. The above two reasons have created the waterfall.
Not only on the ground there are waterfalls, but also underground. Groundwater circuits will create underground rivers, when meeting places with high terrain suddenly falling low, underground waterfalls will also be formed. The water of the waterfall is the water of the river running through that terrain.
The formation of the waterfall is also different, the vast majority of waterfalls are created by layers of lava on the bottom of the river bed, these lava layers have different hardness. We know that the hard lava layer is less corrosive to the water stream, on the contrary, the soft layer that is corroded a lot will become low and low, making river water difference increase. Thus, due to the continuous erosion of fast-flowing water, the deeper the steps are created, the river water flowing through these steps, the landscape of the waterfall will form.
Another cause of waterfall formation is: in places where rivers flow through such as highlands and mountainous areas, with complex terrain, there are changes in high and low terrain, so the river bed will be lower step by step. The river flowing in these terrains will naturally appear waterfall after waterfall.

This is called " mind-only," or " essence of mind," or " big mind," After we are separated by birth from this oneness, as the water falling from the waterfall is separated by the wind and rocks, then we have feeling. You have difficulty because you have feeling. You attach to the feeling you have without knowing just how this kind of feeling is created. When you do not realize that you are one with the river, or one with the universe, you have fear. Whether it is separated into drops or not, water is water. Our life and death are the same thing. When we realize this fact we have no fear of death anymore, and we have no actual difficulty in our life.” - Shunryu Suzuki

Finally, the bed of black stones where all the water, falling from a few hundred feet, gets collected like a whirlpool and overflows into the river further down.” - Misba
20. “The track led into a sort of tunnel made of forest. They left daylight behind, a thousand leaves hemming them into dusky shade. As she traipsed behind Jack's torn blue jacket, he squinted into the foliage, hearkening to every cracking twig or bird-chirrup. After what seemed an age, they came out into blessed sunshine again. They were in a clearing, their ears filled with a thundering wind, the air itself trembling. A few paces further they came upon the source: above them, a waterfall tumbled from a clifftop as high as a church steeple. The water fell in milky blue strands, shooting spray in the air that danced in rainbows of gold, pink and blue. At their feet was a deep and inviting lagoon. It fair took her breath away.
Jack crouched to look at the pool's edge, where a mud bank was scrabbled with marks."
We should go back," he said. " Something drinks here." She didn't care. She was spellbound. "Look, a cave!" Across the lagoon stood a dark entrance hung with pretty mosses, like a fairy grotto.
"Just one peep," she whispered, for there was something powerful and secret about the place. "Then we can go back."
But Jack was still peering at the tracks around the water's edge.
"Whatever drinks here, it's not here now. I dare you, Jack. A quick look around the cave and then we'll be on our way." She had a notion, from some story or other, that caves were places where treasure was hidden; she reckoned pirates might have left jewels and plunder behind long ago." It's the end of the rainbow," she laughed. "Let's find our crock of gold.” - Martine Bailey
