Where was the material eroded from the grand canyon deposited?
The material eroded from the Grand Canyon was deposited on a plain. Over many years, water eroded the plain creating a canyon later known as the Grand Canyon. The water kept weathering down the rocks until it came down to a lower level way below the top of the Grand Canyon. That is why today we have a higher and lower part of the Grand Canyon.
