The Grand Canyon was created mostly by water erosion over millions of years as a river carved out the relatively soft limestone and other soft rock material in the area. Air erosion adds to the look of the canyon in the areas where the water no longer affects it.

Either an earthquake pulled the land apart or a stream or creek that lasted long enough carved down the rocks or land slowly eroding it away until there was a huge crack in the land.
