    Hi students and teachers,
    I wrote this essay for in my geography test and got 26/30. The teacher isn't very good and I think I had more SRPS. Please show me where each SRP is in the essay :

    " Name : waterfall feature of erosion
    Example: powerscourt waterfall co. Wicklow, Niagra falls , canada.

    Explain: A waterfall is a feature of erosion that involves water cascading over a descent. A waterfakk is usually formed due to bands of hard and soft rock. The soft rock is eroded much faster than hard rock. This is called differential erosion. Soon the soft rock is eroded and the water begins to cascade over a descent. This results in a notch being created in the soft rock.

    The water begins to erode this notch by the processes. Hydraulic action is the sheer force of the water that causes erosion. Abrasion is when the load of the river hits of the river bed and erodes it. This occurs in a process called eddying, which is a circular motion of water. The wall of the waterfall is also eroded by splashing of water. Small bubbles also burst, this creates a tiny shock which breaks down fragments of the waterfall.

    A plunge pool is created, which the water drops onto. An overhang is created as the plunge pool erodes, undercutting the hard rock. Soon the overhang collapses, resulting in a gorge. The waterfall moves upstream , this is called headward erosion. A cataract is a waterfall which has one descent over which the water falls. A cascade waterfall is when there are several steps over which the water falls:

    Process of Solution could be referred to. This would occur as the spray splashing the overhanging rock may dissolve the rock, particularly if the bedrock is limestone.
    I would also refer to the formation of a gorge as the waterfall retreats upstream
