Grand Canyon Compare And Contrast

120 Words1 Page

The first thing I think of when I take a look at the Grand Canyon or even think about the Grand Canyon is how long has it been there and how did it even get there? The age of the Earth and the Grand Canyon is both a question of science and biblical interpretation. The discussion of the topic I am writing my essay about today has been debated over many of years. The Grand Canyon is huge which makes me wonder where all of those rocks came from. In this essay I am going to tell you about the dating of the rocks of the Grand Canyon and old earth vs. new earth and compare and contrast the two.

    To many people it is a strong belief the Lewis and Clark expedition was a threat against the american indians and wildlife and caused the start of their removal, but I believe that what happened to the american indians had to happen in order to expand our country. The Lewis and Clark expedition explored the Louisiana purchase bought from the French in 1803 after the French failed their dream of a new empire. Current president Thomas Jefferson was asked by the French to buy a considerable amount of land for a very cheap price when the french had entered a rough patch of financial issues. The land was bought by Thomas Jefferson who had no idea what or really even who was living there besides the american indians. Thomas Jefferson decided to send explorers

  • Essay On The Grand Canyon

    700 Words  | 3 Pages

    It proposed that no late Cenozoic uplift was necessary to explain the incision of the Grand Canyon. Instead, the rapid incision was only due to overflowing basins in three separate localities which are in the central Rocky Mountains, in the Hualapi basin, and in the Bouse Formation basins. Another study supports the lake overflow model which is about the formation and failure of “lava dams” in the western Grand Canyon. Isolated outcrops of horizontal, basaltic lava flows exist within the inner gorge of the western Grand Canyon and these indicate that several “lava dams” were formed during the Pleistocene that blocked the flow of the Colorado River. Because of this, several lakes were formed within the canyon.
