DUDE! Grand Canyon Rocks-


As one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon shows an impressive display of erosion and mother earth's natural beauty. Stretching for 277 miles, the Grand Canyon ranges in elevation from 2,400 feet to over 7,000 feet above sea level. 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 today’s Grand Canyon.
D- Deposition
U- Up Lift
D- Decay/ Decomposition
E - Erosion
In some oreder these processes (or many cycles) formed the Grand Canyons. The breathtaking beauty of the Grand Canyon is enjoyable for all who visit. 5 million people visit the park every year, and most consider it to be the trip of a lifetime.
