Types of Waterfall

Plunge Waterfall - A plunge waterfall occurs when the flowing river water
falls into the plunge pool without coming in contact with any rock. Plunge
waterfalls take a longer time to retreat since the hard rock beneath the
water does not erode as quickly.
Block or Sheet Waterfall - A block or sheet waterfall forms when a wide
river spills water over the edge thus giving it the appearance of a big
sheet. This type of waterfall is much wider.
Curtain Waterfall - This type of waterfall also looks like a sheet but is
generally higher than wider.
Horsetail Waterfall - This type looks like a winding fall that is partially in
contact with the rocks. As a result, the rocks will erode faster due to the
constant flow of water.
Punchbowl Waterfall - These waterfalls flow out of a wider river into a
narrower space and then into a plunge pool. It gives the appearance of a
waterfall punching through thin space and out into the open.
