You are reading the Arizona Bestseller Grand Canyon report! The Grand canyon scientists have dug up some new pieces of information and it is our job to keep you updated on everything they find out, so now you are reading the Arizona bestseller!
The Grand Canyon was formed by the Colorado river, if you’ve heard of the Colarado river you might also have heard that it is one of the fastest rivers in the world because it drops up to 10 ft per mile.
To make the Grand Canyon, the Colarado river cut through some rock and, as it did that, the sides fell in and got washed away by the Colarado making the Canyon bigger every year. As of right now the Grand Canyon is 10 miles wide at the rim and around 3000 ft deep. William never thought we could see past 10 miles! We stopped at some view pionts along a 30 mile stretch, and we probably hadn’t even seen half of it!
The North rim erodes more than the south rim because it is angled towards the Canyon and it has a higher annual rainfall.
There were lots of animals including, Mice, Lizards, Mountain Goats, Mountain Lions, Elk and Birds. I didn’t think I’d ever see a mountain goat, let alone 4! William didn’t think there would be mountain animals and Lizards in the area. We didn’t see any Mountain Lions. We only saw a sign that they were in the area.
And last but not least we shall describe what the Grand Canyon looks like.It is a hole with mountains, hills, cliffs, caves, and the Colarado river at the bottom. I can’t think of any other way to describe it, but it really was cool. by roving reporters, Jamie-Lynn & William
