In places where the rock was less resistant, the erosion was greater resulting in this great transformation and the fantastic scenery at the Falls. Ban Gioc-Detian Falls in Vietnam Over thousands of years the waterfall has eroded its crest and slowly moved upstream. It currently appears to be two waterfalls most of the time but when the river is swollen due to summer rains can form one fall again.]]> 2016-10-11 14:44:24 UTC https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129830030 272366 https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129834605 2016-10-11 14:53:30 UTC https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129834605 272366 https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129835314 2016-10-11 14:55:11 UTC https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129835314 272366 https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129840315 The safest one would be Ban Gioc-Detian Falls because it is in a place where they have many tourist opportunities. Angel Falls is very difficult to travel to, plus it rains a lot. Gullfoss has very rapid flowing waters and the path around and near it is riddle with possible accidents. ]]> 2016-10-11 15:05:06 UTC https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129840315 272366 https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129864051 Apple Orchid Falls in  Buchanan, VA and Fallingwater Cascades in Bedford, VA]]> 2016-10-11 15:55:22 UTC https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129864051 272366 https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129865353 2016-10-11 15:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129865353 272366 https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129878462 2016-10-11 16:26:44 UTC https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129878462 272366 https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129879455 Often, waterfalls form as streams flow from soft rock to hard rock. This happens both laterally (as a stream flows across the earth) and vertically (as the stream drops in awaterfall). In both cases, the soft rock erodes, leaving a hard ledge over which the stream falls.]]> 2016-10-11 16:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129879455 272366 https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129880562 The sediment from the eroded rock is deposited by the waterfall and river to the sea where it is buried and compacted. ]]> 2016-10-11 16:31:56 UTC https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129880562 272366 https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129882365 Don't look too far over the edge!]]> 2016-10-11 16:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/272366/hvosqqiwjvj/wish/129882365
