the colorado river created the grand canyon in the usa through the erosion process.
through what process has the colorado river created the grand canyon in the usa?
erosion
water trapped behind the dams cools and drops its sediment load in the reservoirs. natural floods of warm sediment-rich water flowing down the colorado river, through the grand canyon, and on to the colorado river delta created sandbars and beaches along the river's course and throughout its canyons. these floods have been replaced with metered releases of cold, sediment-free water which has led to the erosion of sandbars in the grand canyon that are crucial for wildlife and has altered the food web within the river with natural species being displaced by invasive species. attempts to simulate natural flood cycles were started in the 2000's but have thus far failed to restore the natural environment in the canyon.
