Please help me i need this done ASAP, this can get me an B, or a E in my class and i need a lot of help.
You and your family have decided to plan a trip to the Grand Canyon this summer. The pictures below show the features of a part of the Grand Canyon and where the Grand Canyon is located (red star). Explain how the Grand Canyon was likely formed and how it will continue to change in the future. In your response, be sure to include the following: Earth’s geologic processes that have likely shaped the landform
A general timescale of how long this process may have taken
Evidence from the unit and relevant unit vocabulary (mechanical/physical weathering, erosion, sedimentation)

The Grand Canyon is a mile deep gorge in northern Arizona scientists estimate the canyon may have formed 5 to 6 million years ago when the Colorado river began to cut a channel through layers of rock humans have inhabited the area in and around the canyon since the last ice age

The Grand Canyon began its formation about 5 my ago by the erosive action of the Colorado River. Its sedimentary layer composition reflects its history, keeping fossilized living forms that used to inhabit the area.

--------------------

The Grand Canyon formation began approximately 5 million years ago, thanks to the erosive action of the Colorado River.

The strength of the colorado river caudal, together with deglaciation and humidity factors, began to cause an uncontrollable erosion process in these lands that were previously part of the sea bottom.

Originally many strata and sediments accumulated at the bottom of the ocean. With time these extensive areas were exposed when the Rocoses Mountains got formed by the end of the cretaceous (70 million years ago).

Now, by looking at the composing layers, it is possible to understand its formation.

The Grand Canyon is almost entirely composed of sedimentary rock.

It was formed while sediments of sand and mud got deposited in thick layers at the bottom of the ocean and got compacted through the pass of time until becoming a rock.

Sedimentary rocks have been chronologically accumulating for years, reflecting the geological formation known as superposition.

According to this sedimentary deposition, we can distinguish the older rocks located in the deepest areas from the younger rocks in more superficial layers.

Each layer keeps fossilized organisms that used to inhabit this area in the past.
