The Grand Canyon (corruption of Spanish Gran Cañón) is a very wide and deep canyon in the north of the U.S. state of Arizona. In the course of millions of years the water of the Colorado has created this canyon in the landscape. This extreme erosion was possible because the area where the gap is located increasingly rose. The Colorado erodes about 16 cm per 1000 years. The canyon is about 435 kilometers long and has a width that varies between 15 and 29 kilometers. The rock that is now exposed is about 2 billion years old according to measurements. The geological structure is part of the Grand Staircase.
