context_page_description: The following is a list of waterfalls by type.
  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.
  Cascade: 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.
  Some waterfalls are also distinct in that they do not flow continuously. Ephemeral waterfalls only flow after a rain or a significant snowmelt.
