¿Cómo se formó el Gran Cañón?

The Grand Canyon, a massive gorge on the Colorado Plateau, was formed through a combination of tectonic activity, erosion, and the persistent flow of the Colorado River. Over millions of years, the river carved through ancient rock layers, while tectonic shifts and glaciations contributed to the canyon's depth and width. Flash floods and ice further widened the canyon, creating the iconic landscape we see today.
