The Eifel Tower is in the Grand Canyon?
• NO, silly….it’s just shown here to give you an indicator of how wide, and high the Canyon actually is!
Canyon Layers

Sand
• Just as there are different types of rocks, there are different types of sand particles. We will be discussing these particles as we go on.
SAND TYPES
• Dune – Frosted Particles
well sorted. Moved by wind
Mountain Stream – Sand close to source of origin. Many different sizes/grains
• Beach – Particles w/ rounded edges. Moved by water
