Grand canyon—a quantitative approach to the erosion and weathering of a stratified bedrock |

| Abstract: | A new method is proposed for solving a differential equation arising from weathering-limited development of a valley. Allowance is made for horizontal stratification and overhang can be allowed to develop. The model is applied to the Grand Canyon and comments are included on its relevance. |
