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.

∙ 9y agoNo. The Grand Canyon is a gorge 4,000 feet deep, carved out of solid rock up to 500 million years old. Even if we ignore the great age of the rocks, it is just not credible that the receding waters of a single flood could cause such massive erosion in such a short time. In fact, the canyon was caused by slow erosion over the last 6 million years, as the Colorado River gradually carved a deeper and deeper bed.
