drop.
b) Where a river descends a cliff into the sea.

e) Where a river is blocked by lava flow causing water to accumulate on the
upstream side and a water fall forms at the point of overflow.
f) Where a resistant rock lies across a river with a less resistant one on the
downstream side and the less resistant one is eroded faster causing a rapid to be
first formed, then a waterfall.
