Message: [QUOTE="SVCBeercats, post: 2338570, member: 7874"] Dry bed?! Hrrumph! [B][U]The following is a list of waterfalls by type.[/U][/B] [LIST] [*]Plunge: Water descends vertically, losing contact with the bedrock surface. [*]Horsetail: Descending water maintains some contact with bedrock. [*]Cataract: A large, powerful waterfall. [*]Multi-step: A series of waterfalls one after another of roughly the same size each with its own sunken plunge pool. [*]Block: Water descends from a relatively wide stream or river. [*][B]Cascade:[/B] Water descends a series of rock steps. [*]Segmented: Distinctly separate flows of water form as it descends. [*]Tiered: Water drops in a series of distinct steps or falls. [*]Punchbowl: Water descends in a constricted form and then spreads out in a wider pool. [*]Fan: Water spreads horizontally as it descends while remaining in contact with bedrock. [/LIST] Virginia Cascades Falls in the Jefferson National Forest of Virginia is a perfect example of a cascade waterfall. The falls, pictured here, descends a height of about 69 feet along approximately 35-foot cascades.
