Which Martian canyon is ten times longer and four times deeper than the Grand Canyon?

Valles Marineris is the Martian canyon that is ten times longer and four times deeper than the Grand Canyon on Earth. It is the largest canyon system in the solar system.

No, the oldest rocks on Earth are not located in the Grand Canyon. The oldest rocks found on Earth are estimated to be over 4 billion years old and are typically found in locations such as Canada, Australia, and Africa.


What is an example of large scale erosion?

One thousand cubic miles of rock has been eroded from the Grand Canyon by the Colorado River. This would be a highly visible and observable result of a huge erosion process. The largest erosion event in the history of Earth was the collision of a Mars sized proto-planet with Earth over 4 billion years ago that led to the formation of the Moon.


What process formed the grandcayon?

The Grand Canyon was formed by the Colorado River cutting through the rock over millions of years, creating a deep and expansive canyon. Erosion from water, wind, and ice also played a role in shaping the canyon's unique landscape.


How is a canyon formed not the Grand Canyon?

A canyon can be formed by a combination of erosion processes such as water flow, wind, and ice carving through the rock layers over millions of years. The process typically involves the gradual wearing down of the surface material, leading to the deepening and widening of the canyon through natural forces.
