Thereare canyons east of the Rocky Mountains, but they are small compared to those in the Rockies.

Canyons in the east are smaller and have had time to be substantially eroded.

How do the Rocky Mountains affect the rivers of his region?

The Rocky Mountains play a crucial role in shaping the rivers in their region by capturing snowmelt and precipitation, which then feeds into the rivers. The steep slopes of the mountains also lead to fast-flowing rivers with rapids and waterfalls, making them important sources of water for various ecosystems and human activities. Additionally, the Rocky Mountains act as a barrier, causing rivers to flow around or through them, creating unique landscapes and habitats.
