The formation of the Grand Canyon was accomplished by the constant erosion of the rock by the Colorado River over some 17 million years. Over time the river was able to carve a very deep channel into the Colorado Plateau. Links are provided to specifics regarding the geology of the Grand Canyon.

What forms canyons and valleys?
Canyons and valleys are typically formed by the erosion of rock and sediment by water, wind, or ice over long periods of time. They can also be created by tectonic activity, such as the shifting of Earth's crust along fault lines. Additionally, volcanic activity can form canyons and valleys as lava flows and subsequent erosion shape the landscape.
