大峡谷 溢流 亚利桑那州 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Grand Canyon Spill, Arizona, 2007A ribbon of water spills down a cliff in Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. The canyon's rock strata, laid bare over the past six million years by the rushing Colorado River, details nearly two billion years of North America's geologic history. At 277 miles (446 kilometers) long, 18 miles (29 kilometers) across at its widest, and 6,000 feet (1,829 meters) down at its deepest, it is one of Earth's largest canyon systems.
