How was the Grand Canyon form?
The Grand Canyon was formed by the processes of weathering and erosion.The Colorado River and its tributaries formed the canyon as the Colorado Plateau was being geologically uplifted. The erosion occurred fairly recently, starting around 17 million years ago, but the geologic record exposed covers around 1.8 billion years. Erosion is the moving of material from one place to another. From the size of the Grand Canyon, you can see that a lot of material was moved. No one is 100% sure how all this erosion took place, but with the help of repeated periods of flooding during previous periods of glaciation, dams formed by volcanism and their eventual breach, the susceptibility of certain rock layers in the canyon to be undercut by layers below them, and the ability of the Colorado River to transport the sediments, it did occur.Erosionersion
How many miles from the Grand Canyon to 4 Corners?
It's about 250 highway miles from the 4-Corners to the main settlement of the Grand Canyon (the area with all the hotels and development on the South Rim). The Grand Canyon itself is over 100 miles long, though, so parts of it are closer and parts are farther. The North Rim would be a much longer drive, for instance.

What is the tourist attraction Grand Canyon Skywalk?
The Grand Canyon Skywalk is a tourist attraction along the Colorado River on the edge of the Grand Canyon (Grand Canyon West) in the U.S. state of Arizona. A horseshoe-shaped glass walkway extending over over a side canyon that is like you are stepping out in space, when you take a walk on this U-shaped transparent platform that juts out over the Grand Canyon's western rim, 4,000 feet (1219 m) above the Colorado River. Visitors must don special non-scuff, nonslip booties for the 70-foot (21.3 m) walk on the 4-inch (10.2 cm) thick glass floor. The walkway is built to withstand hurricane winds of up to 100 mph (160.9 kph) coming from eight different directions and earthquakes up to a magnitude of 8.0 within 50 miles; it can hold the weight of 71 Boeing 747 jet airliners - over 71 million pounds (32 million kg). Source: Answers.com The skywalk at the Grand Canyon is a man-made structure meant for taking in a wide panorama of the Grand Canyon. It is built over the west side of the Grand Canyon. In addition, the bottom of the skywalk is transparent so visitors can experience the full view offered by the tourist attraction.
Does the Grand Canyon affect the temperature in the area?
I am pretty sure it does but the question is "How much?". Before I continue, it gets hotter the lower in elevation you go. But the temperature may be offset somewhat when you are next to the river because the coolness of the river. If you are asking how the Grand Canyon affects the weather 50 or 100 miles away I would rephrase the question to that.
How many M and M's fit in the grand canyon?
The grand canyon has a volume of 4.17 trillion cubic meters according to the National Park Service page The volume of an m&m is 636 cubic centimeters according to National Public Radio 636 cubic centimeters = 0.000636 cubic meters (divide by 1000000)(or divide by 100^3) Assume that the m&ms at the bottom get crushed and the m&ms at the top get melted (treat everything as a liquid). volume of grand canyon divided by the volume of an m&m is: 4170000000000/0.000636 =6.55660377×10^15 =6,556,603,770,000,000 6 and a half quadrillion m&m's would fill the Grand Canyon.
