The Colorado river, flowing from high in the Rockies and carrying a thick load of sediment, has carved an amazing canyon in the rising plateau.

They have formed as the earths continental crust has been shortened under pressure--by around 1 inch a year. Whats more, they are still rising and they are still young in geologic terms: when the dinosaurs roamed the Earth they had not even started to form.
