Grand Canyon

Il Grand Canyon è un'immensa gola (lunga 446 chilometri circa, profonda fino a 1.857 metri, con una larghezza variabile dai 500 metri ai 29 chilometri) creata dal fiume Colorado nell'Arizona settentrionale, per la maggior parte incluso nel parco nazionale del Grand Canyon, uno dei primi parchi nazionali degli Stati Uniti d'America: quasi due miliardi di anni della storia della Terra sono emersi alla luce grazie all'azione del fiume e dei suoi affluenti che in milioni di anni hanno eroso le rocce strato dopo strato, unita al sollevamento del Colorado Plateau.
