"I am a river that suddenly runs out of floor. I am loud yet the water that makes me has no idea I am coming. I wear away rock that has stood for millions of years. What am I?"
Answer
A Waterfall
Explanation
A waterfall forms where a river flows over a sudden drop in elevation. The water has no awareness of the edge approaching. Over millennia, the constant impact erodes even the hardest rock.
