A knickpoint is a term in
geomorphology to describe a
location of a river or channel
where there is a sharp change
in channel slope, such as a
waterfall or lake. Knickpoints
reflect different conditions and
processes on the river often
caused by previous erosion
due to glaciation or variance in
lithology.
Formation
Knickpoints are formed by the
influence of tectonics, climate
history, and/or lithology.[1] For
example, uplift along a fault
over which a river is flowing
will often result in an unusually
steep reach along a channel,
known as a knickzone.
Glaciation resulting in a
hanging valley are often prime
spots for knickpoints. If
lithology of the rock varies,
such as shale amongst igneous
rock, erosion will occur more
steadily in the softer rock than
the surrounding.

Why do knick points and waterfalls happen in valley long profiles?
Knick points are an irregularity in the rivers long profile. Knick points occur in the river when river rejuvenation has taken place, meaning that either the land has risen or sea level has dropped, increasing the gradient of the river at that point. This gives the river greater potential energy and more erosive power. If the knick point is big enough, a waterfall would form.
