One of the most famous National Parks is the Grand Canyon in Arizona. It is considered one of the seven wonders of nature. Millions of years ago a part of the earth's crust was pushed up here; this created the Colorado Plateau of which the Grand Canyon is now a part. The Colorado River has cut its way through the rock layers of the Colorado Plateau over the last 6 million years, grinding the rock further and further away. Because each rock layer consists of a different type of rock, the effects of the water's force are different everywhere. This has created a complicated system of deep, erratically formed canyons. Besides the water of the Colorado River, other erosive forces, such as frost and wind, have had a great deal of influence.
