The first is that several rivers merged and their combined power cut the canyon. The second is the combination of the river cutting through the plateau as the land uplifted around it. The third theory that the video addresses is by John Douglas, PhD., a geologist at Paradise Valley Community College. He theorized that the Colorado River filled up a basin until it finally overfilled

Ever since my dad was a young boy he has wanted to visit all the National Parks in the United States. We’ve already been to The Grand Canyon in Arizona, The Badlands in South Dakota, Biscayne in Florida, Mesa Verde in Colorado, and many more! This time we were headed for Colorado where National Park, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, is located. I was really dreading this trip. I’d never heard of this park before and neither had my friends.

When the interview assignment was presented in class, it didn’t take long for me to decide which professor to interview. The professor I chose to interview was Dr. Jill Beyette. Dr. Beyette is my current Biology II professor. So far, I have really enjoyed her class and would even consider it one of my favorite classes this fall semester. Dr. Beyette makes the class as simple as possible and makes herself very approachable to her students. This is another reason I decided to interview her. Through
