Some geologists are finding evidence that suggests that this one-mile deep canyon may have been cut within the last 4 million ye
sweet [91]

The number that Colorado River would have to downcut per year to form the mile-deep canyon in 4 million years is 0.40 millimeter per year.

Depth of canyon = 1 mile

Time taken = 4 million years

Based on the above information, the rate will be:

= Depth / Time taken

= 1 mile / 4 million years

= 0.25 mile / million year

Note tha<em>t 1 mile = 1609344 millimeter</em>

<em />

Therefore, the rate will be:

= (0.25 × 1609344) / 1000000 years

= 0.40 millimeter / years

In conclusion, the rate is 0.40 millimeter per year.
