The Grand Canyon is located in a desert in the USA. It is a very large and deep canyon containing many layers of rock. Sometime in the past, movements in the Earth's crust lifted these layers up. The Grand Canyon is now 1.6 km deep in parts. The Colorado River runs through the bottom of the canyon. See the picture below of the Grand Canyon taken from its south rim. Several different layers of rock can be seen in the walls of the canyon.
