yes. the grand canon, which developed relatively quickly, took about 6 million years, having been eroded, principally, by the waters of the Colorado River. However, it reached nearly to its present depth by about 1.2 million years ago. The sun, Wind, and rain, of course, have played their parts as well.
What else can I help you with?
Which the theory views the earths surface as composed of slowly moving plates?
Plate tectonics.
What is the force that slowly wears away at rocks?
Weathering, or erosion changes the Earth's surface slowly over time.
What are extrusive and intrusive igneous rock?
Extrusive rocks are formed outside of earths surface. Intrusive rocks are formed inside earths surface.
Explain the seasonal changes seen on the surface of mars in terms of changing of state?
The seasonal changes on the surface of Mars are primarily driven by the planet's tilt and elliptical orbit around the Sun. During winter, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere freezes at the poles, forming dry ice caps. In summer, the caps sublimate back into gas, causing changes in surface patterns. This process of sublimation is when a substance transitions directly from a solid to a gas without passing through the liquid phase.
Do continents drift slowly on earths upper mantle or earths core?
Continents drift on top of the upper mantle. The core is much further down.

It is an iceberg.
How did Sir Charles Lyell's work help sientists?
by providing an understanding that most changes on earth's surface happen slowly :) hope this helped!
What is it called when magma slowly cools far beneath the earths surface?

What rock is formed when magma cools slowly beneath earths surface?
Intrusive igneous rock.
How are ocean waves a force of gradual change to the earths surface?
They slowly change the shoreline by moving sand.
What will happen when a small stone fall in moon surface?
It Would Drop Very Slowly And Take A While To Just Hit The Surface, But After It Hits The Surface Nothing Will Happen.
How do glaciers affect earths surface?
When they slide or move across the land they pick up rocks and soil which changes the Ground beneath it.By glacial erosion which is when slowly over time large U shaped valleys are carved out; or by 'plucking' which is when rocks or boulders are literally plucked up from the surface and carried down the valley.Rocks frozen underneath glaciers carve the land when glaciers move
