It will become narrower, as weathered rock collects at the canyon’s edges. It will become wider, as the edges of the canyon are weathered and eroded. It will become wider, as the edges of the canyon are weathered and eroded. It will become shallower, as the Colorado River deposits sediment in the canyon. It will become shallower, as the Colorado River deposits sediment in the canyon. It will become deeper, as the Colorado River continues to carve into the rock.

Answer 1

The two correct answers that describe the Grand Canyon one million years from today are:

1. It will become wider, as the edges of the canyon are weathered and eroded.
2. It will become shallower, as the Colorado River deposits sediment in the canyon.

These answers reflect the geological processes of erosion and sediment deposition that would likely occur over such an extended period.
