Answer 1

The two correct answers that describe how the Grand Canyon will change over the next million years are:

1. It will become wider, as the edges of the canyon are weathered and eroded.
2. It will become deeper, as the Colorado River continues to carve into the rock.

These processes of weathering, erosion, and the ongoing action of the Colorado River will contribute to both widening and deepening the canyon over time.
