The Grand Canyon is a giant canyon surrounding a 30 kilometers area of dry and rocky land in Arizona, the United States. It was been formed for the last six million years ago when the movement of the earth thrust a more than 1,200 meters land above. The fastflowing Colorado River constantly cuts the land to maintain its flowing down the river. It results in an abrupt canyon, with the average 16 kilometers width and 1,600 meters depth in several places. The desert climate of the area causes the softer upper rock layers remain.
