16 comments:

  1. The Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (6,000 feet or 1,800 meters). Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history has been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While the specific geologic processes and timing that formed the Grand Canyon are the subject of debate by geologists,recent evidence suggests the Colorado River established its course through the canyon at least 17 million years ago.Since that time, the Colorado River continued to erode and form the canyon to its present-day configuration

  14. Grand Canyon is the deepest gorge in the world. It is spread over the area in the American states of Arizona, Colorado, Nevada and Utha. The canyon is 1800 meters/6000 deep. It was formed because of the erosion by Colorado River which flows through it. The government of Arizona has built the Grand Canyon National Park for visitors to enjoy the gorges, caves, falls, cliffs, hills, streams in it. The Sky Walk is a great attraction. It is a horse shoe glass path built over the canyon. It seems an amazing land form to visit. I also enjoyed the images and the video describing the place.
