When The walls of the grand canyon are made up of layers of sandstone a dike cuts across some of the layers when did the dike form?
The dike likely formed after the layers of sandstone, as it cuts across them. Dikes form when magma intrudes into existing rock layers and solidifies underground before being exposed at the surface through erosion. Therefore, the dike is a later geological event compared to the formation of the original sandstone layers in the Grand Canyon.

The walls of the Grand Canyon are made of layers of sandstone. A dike cuts across some of the layers. When did the dike form?
The dike that cuts across the layers of the Grand Canyon formed after the sedimentary rock layers, including sandstone, had already been deposited and solidified. This typically occurred during a later geological period, likely during the intrusion of magma into the existing rock, which can date back to the late Paleozoic to early Mesozoic eras, around 200 million years ago. The exact timing would depend on the specific geological history of the area.
