The Grand Canyon isn't really made "OF" anything... It was formed by The Colorado River's erosion on rock over time.
Now the next time your dad tells you not to leave water running you should think of The Grand Canyon and how it was formed. You can get the idea of how erosion works by taking a garden hose and spraying a stream of water onto a dirt patch in your yard. You can make a pretty big hole in the ground by spraying it with a narrow stream setting on the hose. The Grand Canyon was form pretty much the same way, but over a very long time . There are places where the canyon floor is 1 mile deeper than the canyon rim. This was all accomplished by the Colorado River slowly eroding many layers of solid rock.
...now go make sure the hose is off!
