High Force
Huge step in river bed due to igneous intrusion of dolerite into the limestone.
Huge step in river bed due to igneous intrusion of dolerite into the limestone. Plunge pool where the dolerite wall is undercut, causing rockfalls and recession of the waterfall
Waterfall creates gorge as it recedes upstream by eroding the base and neck

River seeps out from spring at base and undermines steep cliff, causing rockfalls and headwall
Potholes in R. Wharfe
Smooth sculpturing of rock by abrasion, showing evidence of water levels during high discharge events Vertical erosion is dominant

Load is picked up and used to scour or abrade pothole. Load itself becomes rounded by attrition
