The sides of the canyon would always be crumbling into it, but as that would mean it was getting wider, it wouldn't fill up, just get more level.
But presumably there's a stream/river at the bottom which caused the canyon in the first place and this is likely to continue the erosion.

How does increasing human population affect soil erosion?
It increases it because when humans walk on dirt it causes the soil to fill up with dirty bacteria and cause erosion
What deposition can gradually fill up depressions in earths surface?
Deposition by erosion , could fill a depression , the same erosion creates depressions.
What action is necessary to protect the grand canyon?
The Grand Canyon is large, and seemingly impervious to the efforts of humans, but nevertheless it needs protection. Grand Canyon national park is set up to ensure that the canyon is preserved in a mostly natural state, while allowing as many people as is practical the best access possible to enjoy the canyon. The wildlife and plant life within the canyon needs to be protected, from man-made disasters, and from invasive species. The canyon itself was formed through erosion, so obviously, it is possible for human activity to cause more or less erosion.
Was the Grand Canyon caused by erosion from the receding waters of Noah's deluge?
Another answer from our community:No. The Grand Canyon was created by erosion, mainly from the Colorado River, but with other causes, such as flooding of the canyon by the damming and dam breach of the river by volcanism, and by the uplift of the Colorado Plateau. These processes occurred over millions of years.
How many brontosaurs does it take to fill a canyon?
im not shure but you could look up ' how many pounds are Brontosaurs?' then do the math on how big the canyon is then you will figure it out

What are the types of agents of erosion?
Some things that cause erosion is water and unsupported soil. If you are facing erosion, you can put up a retaining wall to protect your soil.
How are rocks broken up to become sediments?
By erosion. Heat, wind, water are some possible natural forces which cause erosion.
Do earthquakes cause erosion?
Error, yes, Earthquakes break up sediments and trigger floods and landslides to carry them, so don't say what you don't know about because yes they can cause erosion so go get a 'correct' on your answer.
How do river valleys form?
A river creates a canyon through erosion. The faster the water is moving the faster the canyon is going to be formed. The water rushes on the bottom and moves rocks as it goes along and the rocks scrape on other rocks and loosen up the soil and other rocks so it carves out a canyon.
