Grand Canyon
Grand Canyon is one of earth’s most spectacular nature phenomenon, that is also way it is one of the seven nature miracles. Grand Canyon is a very popular tourist destination and one of the most visited places on earth. What many visitors do not know is that the deepest canon in the world has been formed by the simple natural effect of erosion. There are of course a number of combined erosion processes that have created the canyon. The three main weathering processes that have formed the Grand Canyon are primarily water but also wind and ice. The Grand Canyon is located in the desert of Arizona that makes the soil very hard and dry, leading to a weak absorption of water. The plants that grow in the Grand Canon have a very shallow root system because of the hard and dry soil but. Hard and dry soil result of the wind that takes away the softer parts of rock and soil, and leaves the harder layers. The Colorado River runs through the canyon and because of the shallow root system that cannot hold the soil in place the river takes soil and rock with it.
