For today's science activity students used a model of rain and land to explain what causes a canyon to form. Our land was made out of cornmeal, salt, and water.
Water is incredibly powerful - even powerful enough to move the earth’s surface! Heavy rains wash away dirt and rocks, creating canyons - this process is called erosion. Most canyons have rivers flowing from them, and as time passes the water continues to carry away dirt, rocks, and sand. Because of this, canyons continue to grow deeper and wider over time.
