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
