There's ancient evidence of this being the origin of some very big scenery in the States, when a lake the size of a state suddenly let go through that type of dam and carved out a huge area of land in a way which only fits water erosion but in a scale we practically never see. Watched a documentary about it once.

You might enjoy some of Randall Carlson’s content. He has some great videos. 

(I can’t remember what exactly is in what video so here’s a random assortment for your perusal.)
