Pressure (Hydrostatic pressure) builds up from behind, forcing it down under the incoming stream and it emerges near the outlet in dark rolling slugs of water. -

At "B" the escarpment rock is missing and is replaces by the many gullied hills of glacial drift. At "C" drillings revealed that the buried valley exists under the Lake Iroquois Beach Ridge. -
