US President said that the Grand Canyon is one of the “nine” wonders of the world.
- Grand Canyon is a massive geological formation located in the state of Arizona, USA.
- The canyon was carved by the Colorado River over millions of years and exposes a stunning cross-section of Earth’s geological history.
- It cuts across the Grand Canyon National Park.
- The 1.5-kilometer deep gorge ranges in width from 500 m to 30 km.
- The exposed rock layers in the Grand Canyon represent different periods of Earth’s geological history.
- The rocks date back as far as 1.8 billion years, providing a unique record of the planet’s past.
- A canyon is a deep, narrow valley with steep sides or cliffs, often carved by the erosional forces of a river or other natural processes over a long period of time.
- Canyons can vary in size from small, winding gorges to massive, awe-inspiring chasms like the Grand Canyon.
