Best Answer

Deep canyons are formed when rivers erode many layers of rock. The pattern of rocky layers, as well as the layers themselves, have a lot of information for geologists about how the layers were formed, atmospheric conditions, disruptions, volcanic eruptions, major fires and so on. It would be difficult or impossible to expose so much of this over such a great distance.
