Erosion by The Power of Water

    This week my brother and I took a short trip to the Grand Canyon. The Canyon resembles what used to be a wide and deep river, and through erosion, created what we know today as the Grand Canyon. The river has perennial characteristics and seems to have constant and steady water flow throughout the year. In some areas, the water flow is perfect for those who enjoy river rafting. Additionally, the river meanders, making the river a fun place for motorboats who wish to navigate the river's waters.  Throughout the years, the water levels made water level marks, which are very comparable to other water level landmarks features around the world. Therefore, water level landmarks indicate that the Grand Canyon was once an immense water body, which created a fantastic world treasure.
