Bryce Canyon National Park
By Meg Leonard |
|
1 Bryce Canyon is in Utah. It is not a true canyon. Canyons are usually carved by erosion from a river. This is not how Bryce Canyon formed. The canyons and unique rock formations are formed from water, though. Most days, the temperature here dips below the freezing point. As the day goes on, the temperature rises. Water that seeps into cracks in the rocks will freeze. The ice expands the cracks. This is called frost-wedging. Rainwater also rounds the corners off of the rocks and changes the formations.
