Then 5 to 6 million years ago, the Colorado River formed the canyon.The river cut through rocks and carved a path. River erosion created the beautiful canyon we see today. The river’s erosion in the canyon exposed some beautiful old rocks. The oldest rocks in the Grand Canyon are about 2000 million years old! Scientists who study rocks know the importance of the Grand Canyon. The canyon supplies many fossil records. Fossils tell the history of plants and animals that lived in the canyon. There are also rocks of different features, types, and time periods. Scientists also know the importance of the river, which is still carving the canyon today. Another word used for the erosion process is downcutting. The river cuts down into the earth and erodes away rocks. This causes a valley or canyon to appear. The river gets help from sharp rocks. During floods, large rocks fall into the moving river. The rocks bang against canyon sides and chip off more rocks. The river has also created a good environment for wildlife. Many plants and animals live in or near the river. Condors are large birds that sometimes drink from the river. Falcons breed along the river and also higher up in the canyon. Many fish live in the river, and frogs, toads, and salamanders live near the river. Beavers build their burrows and dens on the banks and eat bark and twigs that they find in the surrounding area. River otters live near the beavers. They eat different foods than beavers, so they don’t Powered by Illuminate Education. Above the river, the canyon has different types of environments. A desert environment contains animals and plants that need warm, dry areas. Near the canyon’s top edge there are forests and animals that live near trees.
