The Grand Canyon (corruption of Spanish Gran Cañón) is a very wide and deep gorge in the north of the U.S. state of Arizona. Over millions of years, the waters of the Colorado River created this canyon in the landscape. This extreme erosion became possible as the area in which the gorge lies continued to rise. The Colorado erodes about 16 inches every 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.
