[h2] 🌄 What Is a Canyon? [/h2]

A canyon is a deep, narrow valley with very steep sides 🏞️, often formed by a river cutting through rock over millions of years. 💧 Imagine nature’s artwork — carved slowly by water, wind, and time ⏳ — that’s a canyon!

Canyons usually form in dry areas where rivers flow through hard rock, like sandstone or limestone. As the river keeps moving, it wears away the rock little by little, creating deep walls that rise high above the river below. 🪨🌊

The most famous canyon in the world is the Grand Canyon in the United States 🇺🇸. It’s over 440 kilometers long and more than 1,800 meters deep! 😮 The Colorado River 🌊 carved it over millions of years, leaving layers of colorful rock that tell Earth’s ancient story. 🌈

Some canyons are wide and bright 🌤️, while others are dark and narrow 🌌 — but all are full of natural beauty and wonder. 🌿 Many animals live in canyon habitats, like eagles 🦅, mountain goats 🐐, and lizards 🦎.

Canyons aren’t just beautiful — they also help scientists learn about how Earth’s surface changes over time 🧠. Every layer of rock tells a story about volcanoes, oceans, and climates long ago.

So, a canyon is like Earth’s open history book 📖 — written in stone, shaped by rivers, and painted by time. 🌍✨
