Abstract

One interpretation of the erosion of the Grand Canyon is reviewed--the antecedent view of the Colorado River cutting through the rising landscape. It is postulated that rapidly flowing water laden with abrasive particles moving from higher regions into lower areas was the main erosive agent in the formation of the Grand Canyon and that this erosion occurred rapidly within recent times.
