This is the Grand Canyon. It’s about one mile deep. You can look down from the top and see layers of rocks in its walls. Far, far below you’ll see a river.

Take a mule ride down into the Grand Canyon. You’ll pass the layers of rocks. The lower you go, the older the rocks are. The rocks at the bottom are two billion years old!

It took millions of years to make the canyon. Each year, the river took away bits of rock and sand. Big winds took away bits of rock and sand too. Each winter, ice broke off chunks of rock.

This happened year after year. It is still happening. These forces of nature are called weathering.

The rainwater rushes fast. It takes soil and small rocks with it. It can take bushes and trees too.
