Was the Grand Canyon caused by erosion from the receding waters of Noah's deluge?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Another answer from our community:No. The Grand Canyon was created by erosion, mainly from the Colorado River, but with other causes, such as flooding of the canyon by the damming and dam breach of the river by volcanism, and by the uplift of the Colorado Plateau. These processes occurred over millions of years.

How is a Grand Canyon made?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

he Grand Canyon is 277 miles (446 km) long, up to 18 miles (29 km) wide and attains a depth of over a mile (1.83 km) (6000 feet). Nearly two billion years of the Earth's geological history have been exposed as the Colorado River and its tributaries cut their channels through layer after layer of rock while the Colorado Plateau was uplifted. While the specific geologic processes and timing that formed the Grand Canyon are the subject of debate by geologists,recent evidence suggests the Colorado River established its course through the canyon at least 17 million years ago. Since that time, the Colorado River continued to erode and form the canyon to the point we see it at today.

Before European immigration, the area was inhabited by Native Americans who built settlements within the canyon and its many caves. The Pueblo people considered the Grand Canyon ("Ongtupqa" in Hopi language) a holy site and made pilgrimages to it.[7] The first European known to have viewed the Grand Canyon was García López de Cárdenas from Spain, who arrived in 1540.
