The Grand Canyon was created mostly by water erosion over millions of years as a river carved out the relatively soft limestone and other soft rock material in the area. Wind erosion played a lesser, but important part. Once the flowing water dug the canyon, the wind gave the canyon its more gnarly look. The erosion continued after the water subsided in these areas, giving the Grand Canyon its present look.
