Rivers (features)
Valleys- formed by rivers in different shapes and forms. Eg. steep valleys, broad-shaped valleys, etc.
Rapids- A series of short and fast falls along the course the of a river. They are formed when a river flows over bands of hard and soft rocks.
Waterfalls- A vertical flow of water falling from a great height. It is formed when a river flows over a band of hard rocks overlying softer rocks.
Plunge pools- At the foot of the waterfall, the great force of falling water and the rocks carried by the river cut into the land. A depression at the foot of the waterfall is known as a plunge pool.
