PlanetGeo: The Geology Podcast

The Epic Earthlings Grand Canyon Questions - Answered!

Season 4 Episode 2

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
