Very wide panorama of the Grand Canyon, USA. Red-orange shades. One of the most famous National Parks is the Grand Canyon in Arizona. It is considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World of Nature.
Millions of years ago, part of the earth's crust was pushed up here, creating the Colorado Plateau of which the Grand Canyon is now a part. The Colorado River has made its way through the rock layers of the Colorado Plateau over the last 6 million years, with the rock being (and still being) eroded further and further away. Because each rock layer consists of a different type of rock, the effects of the force of the water are different everywhere. This has resulted in a complicated system of deep, irregularly shaped ravines. Apart from the water of the Colorado River, other erosive forces, such as frost and wind, have also had a great influence.
The gorge divides the National Park into two halves, which are only 16 kilometres apart as the crow flies.
