- Stage 1:The soft rock is easy to erode, but the hard rock is resistant. So overtime a ledge develops
- Stage 2:The water rushes over the ledge and erodes the soft rock forming a plunge pool
- Stage 3:The ledge collapses into the plunge pool, where the debris helps to speed up erosion
- Stage 4:The stages 1-3 are repeated. The waterfall gradually retreats upstream carving out a gorge
