What is the tectonic plate of Grand Canyon?
The Grand Canyon is located on the North American tectonic plate. This massive canyon was formed by the erosion of the Colorado River cutting through layers of rock over millions of years.
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.
How is the grand canyon wider than the Colorado river?
A simplified answer would be that the Canyon is measured from Rim to Rim while the Colorado River gets its width by measuring the river from bank to river bank. At some points the Colorado runs a meandering course through an 18 mile wide canyon. Further, the Grand Canyon National Park is much larger then the canyon itself because it is defined not by nature, but by the whims of cartographers.

Supai sandstone
Which rock layer is at river level in North Cayon?
In North Canyon, the rock layer at river level is typically composed of sedimentary rocks, often including sandstone, limestone, or shale, depending on the specific geological history of the area. These layers have been shaped by erosion and sediment deposition from the river over time. To determine the exact layer, geological maps or local studies would provide more precise information about the stratigraphy in that region.

How far down is the Grand Canyon?
The answer depends largely on where you are along the Canyon...Grand Canyon Village is on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon at an elevation just short of 7,000 feet. The river is about 2,000 feet above sea level, so the depth of the Canyon from Grand Canyon Village is around 5,000 feet. North Rim, near where Grand Canyon Lodge is, is about 1,000 feet higher than South Rim, making North rim to the bottom of the canyon 6,000 feet down.
What is the elevation of the Colorado river at North Canyon?
about 920 feet and the Canyon trail is about 1.5 miles long
