  • The Geology of the Grand Canyon clickable image map Slopes of Dox Formation near Unkar Creek The truth is that no one knows for sure though there are some pretty good guesses

  • The chances are that a number of processes combined to create the views that you see in todays Grand Canyon

  • The most powerful force to have an impact on the Grand Canyon is erosion, primarily by water (and ice) and second by wind

  • Other forces that contributed to the Canyon's formation are the course of the itself, vulcanism, and slight variations in the earths orbit which in turn causes variations in seasons and climate

  • Many people cannot understand how water can have such a profound impact considering that the Canyon is basically located in a desert

  • Because the soil in the Grand Canyon is baked by the sun it tends to become very hard and cannot absorb water when the rains to come

  • The plants that grow in the Grand Canyon tend to have very shallow root systems so that they can grab as much water as possible on those rare occasions when it does rain

  • The result is frequently a flash flood roaring down a side canyon that can move boulders the size of automobiles, buses and even small houses
