The most accurate statement regarding the changes that will occur in the Grand Canyon over the next million years is:
**It will become wider as the canyon continues to be eroded and weathered.**
As erosion continues, factors such as water flow, rock falling, and weathering will contribute to the widening of the canyon over time, rather than it becoming more narrow or shallow.
**It will become wider as the canyon continues to be eroded and weathered.**
