Yes, Year 6 have been studying waterfalls!<\/p>\n

As part of their topic\/geography lessons, Year 6 have been learning all about these natural and wondrous creations.\u00a0 Year 6 enjoyed researching lots of fascinating information about famous waterfalls located throughout the globe; examining beautiful photographs captured by photographers; and indeed sharing their own experiences of them through travel.<\/p>\n

This got us thinking about how they come to be.\u00a0 And if you want to know how, expect the following to be relayed to you by any member of Year 6:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Waterfalls typically form in the upper stages of a river. They occur where a band of hard rock overlies softer rock.\u00a0 Falling water and rock particles erode the soft rock below the waterfall, creating a plunge pool.<\/li>\n
  2. The soft rock continues to be undercut by erosion; and as it deepens an overhang is formed.<\/li>\n
  3. The hard rock overhang above the plunge pool collapses as its weight is no longer supported.<\/li>\n
  4. Erosion continues and the waterfall retreats upstream leaving behind a gorge.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Examine the diagrams below for further reinforcement.<\/p>\n

    Please check out the outstanding artwork produced by Year 6.\u00a0 Inspired by waterfalls and brought to life via acrylics!\u00a0 A job very well done!<\/p>\n
