The Epic Earthlings Grand Canyon Questions - Answered!

Join Chris and Jesse as we tackle questions about the Grand Canyon.  A 4th grade class, Bronx Little School, reached out in a letter with a list of fantastic questions.  We knew right away we wanted to make an episode about this.  These questions, and our responses, provide a great introduction to the geology of The Grand Canyon.  Below are the questions - asked and answered:

1. How deep is the Grand Canyon?

2- Why are the rocks orange, red, and black?  How were the rocks made?

3- Why is the Grand Canyon so steep?

4- How old is each layer in the Grand Canyon?

5- They didn't ask this question, but Jesse and I couldn't resist.  So we posed the question: How did the Grand Canyon get cut?  Maybe one of these awesome students will find the answer.

We hope you all enjoy learning a little more about one of the Natural Wonders of the World.  Cheers We now have a live Mobile App for iOS and Android. There you can learn all the basics of geoscience with our CampGeo content, purchase a visual audiobook on the Geology of Yellowstone National Park, and listen to past PlanetGeo episodes!
