Canyons are among the most striking natural formations on Earth, showcasing the power of geological processes over millennia. The formation of canyons is primarily attributed to the processes of erosion, weathering, and tectonic activity. As rivers flow over the landscape, they carve their way through rock and sediment, gradually deepening and widening the channels. The interplay between water, gravity, and geological materials results in the dramatic cliffs and expansive gorges that characterize these formations. Understanding the geological processes involved in canyon formation provides insight into the dynamic nature of our planet's surface
