The Grand Canion

Immense gorge cut by the Colorado River into the high plateaus of northwestern Arizona, U.S., noted for its fantastic shapes and coloration.

The broad, intricately sculptured chasm of the Grand Canyon contains between its outer walls a multitude of imposing peaks, buttes, canyons, and ravines. It ranges in width from about 0.1 to 18 miles (0.2 to 29 km) and extends in a winding course from the mouth of the Paria River, near the northern boundary of Arizona, to Grand Wash Cliffs, near the Nevada line, a distance of about 277 miles (446 km). The canyon includes many tributary side canyons and surrounding plateaus. The deepest and most impressively beautiful section, 56 miles (90 km) long, is within Grand Canyon National Park, which encompasses the river's length from Lake Powell to Lake Mead. In its general colour, the canyon is red, but each stratum or group of strata has a distinctive hue--buff and gray, delicate green and pink, and, in its depths, brown, slate-gray, and violet. At 8,200 feet (2,500 m) above sea level, the North Rim is 1,200 feet (350 m) higher than the South Rim.

The first sighting of the Grand Canyon by a European is credited to the Francisco Coronado expedition of 1540 and subsequent discovery to two Spanish priests, Francisco Garcés and Silvestre Vélez de Escalante, in 1776. In the early 1800s trappers examined it, and sundry government expeditions exploring and mapping the West began to record information about the canyon. By the 1870s, following the exploration of John Wesley Powell and others, extensive reports on the geography, geology, botany, and ethnology of the area were being published.

Grand Canyon National Park, now containing 1,904 square miles (4,931 square km), was created in 1919. Its area was greatly enlarged in 1975 by the addition of the former Grand Canyon National Monument and Marble Canyon National Monument and by portions of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, as well as other adjoining lands. The North and South rims are connected by a 215-mile- (346-kilometre-) long paved road and by a transcanyon trail. Scenic drives and trails lead to all important features. Mule-pack trips down the canyon and rides down the river in rafts and power-driven craft are intensively sought-after ways of viewing and experiencing the vast beauty of the canyon. Many pueblo and cliff-dweller ruins, with accompanying artifacts, indicate prehistoric occupation. There are five Indian tribes living on nearby reservations.

Geologic history

Although its awesome grandeur and beauty are the major attractions of the Grand Canyon, perhaps its most vital and valuable aspect lies in the time scale of Earth history that is revealed in the exposed rocks of the canyon walls. No other place on Earth compares with the Grand Canyon for its extensive and profound record of geologic events. The canyon's record, however, is far from continuous and complete. There are immense time gaps; many millions of years are unaccounted for by gaps in the strata in which either vast quantities of Earth materials were removed by erosion or there was little or no deposition of Earth materials. Thus rock formations of vastly different ages are separated only by a thin, distinct surface that reveals the vast unconformity in time.

Briefly summarized, the geologic history of the canyon strata is as follows. The crystallized, twisted, and contorted unstratified rocks of the inner gorge at the bottom of the canyon are granite and schist about two billion years old. Overlying these very ancient rocks is a layer of limestones, sandstones, and shales that are more than 500 million years old. On top of these are rock strata composed of more limestones, freshwater shales, and cemented sandstones that form much of the canyon's walls and represent a depositional period stretching over 300 million years. Overlying these canyon rocks is a thick sequence of Mesozoic Era rocks (245 to 66.4 million years old) that form precipitous butte remnants and the vermilion, white, and pink cliff terraces of southern Utah but which have been entirely eroded away in the area of the Grand Canyon proper. Of relatively recent origin are overlying sheets of black lava and volcanic cones that occur a few miles southeast of the canyon and in the western Grand Canyon proper, some estimated to have been active within the past 1,000 years.

The cutting of the mile-deep Grand Canyon by the Colorado River is an event of relatively recent geologic history that began not more than six million years ago, when the river began following its present course. The Colorado River's rapid velocity and large volume and the great amounts of mud, sand, and gravel it carries swiftly downstream account for the incredible cutting capacity of the river. Prior to the building of the Glen Canyon Dam, the sediments carried by the Colorado River weremeasured at an average of 500,000 tons per day. Conditions favourable to vigorous erosion were brought about by the uplift of the region, which steepened the river's path and allowed deep entrenchment. The depth of the Grand Canyon is due to the cutting action of the river, but its great width is explained by rain, wind, temperature, and chemical erosion, helped by the rapid wear of soft rocks, all of which steadily widened it. Amazingly, the canyon was cut by a reverse process, for the river remained in place and cut through the rocks as the land moved slowly upward against it. Only thus can be explained the canyon's east-to-west course across a south-facing slope and the presence of plateaus that stand across the river's course without having deflected it.

The most significant aspect of the environment that is responsible for the canyon is frequently overlooked or not recognized. Were it not for the arid climate in the surrounding area, there would be no Grand Canyon. Slope wash from rainfall would have removed the canyon walls, the stairstep topography would long ago have been excavated, the distinctive sculpturing and the multicoloured rock structures could not exist, the Painted Desert would be gone, and the picturesque Monument Valley would have only a few rounded hillocks.

Biological past and present

Plant and animal fossils are not abundant in the Grand Canyon's sedimentary rocks and are confined mostly to primitive algae and mollusks, corals, trilobites, and other invertebrates. Animal life in the Grand Canyon area today is varied and abundant, however. The common animals are the many varieties of squirrels, coyotes, foxes, deer, badgers, bobcats, rabbits, chipmunks, and kangaroo rats. Plant life is also varied. In the bottom of the canyons are willows and cottonwoods, which require abundant water during the growing season. At the other end of the moisture scale are drought-resistant plants such as the yucca, agave, and numerous species of cactus.

On the canyon rims, north and south, there is a wide assortment of plant life. Typical of the South Rim is a well-developed ponderosa pine forest, with scattered stands of pinon pine and juniper. Bush vegetation consists mainly of scrub oak, mountain mahogany, and large sagebrush. On the North Rim are magnificent forest communities of ponderosa pine, white and Douglas fir, blue spruce, and aspen. Under less optimum conditions the plant life reverts to the desert varieties.

Grand Canyon Series

Major division of rocks in northern Arizona dating from Precambrian time (about 3.8 billion to 540 million years ago). The rocks of the Grand Canyon Series consist of about 3,400 m (about 10,600 feet) of quartz sandstones, shales, and thick sequences of carbonate rocks. Spectacular exposures of these rocks occur in the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River in northwestern Arizona, where they overlie the strongly deformed and contorted Vishnu Schist, the angularity of which stands in bold contrast to the almost horizontal bedding of the Grand Canyon Series. The Grand Canyon Series actually dips slightly eastward and is separated from the overlying Cambrian sandstones by a major erosion surface unconformity. A conglomerate was deposited on the eroded surface of the Vishnu Schist. Limestones, shales, and sandstones occur over the conglomerate and are thought to represent shallow water deposits. The area of deposition was probably a large deltaic region that was slowly subsiding, allowing great thicknesses of sediment to accumulate near sea level . The presence of Precambrian organisms is indicated by calcareous algaelike structures in the carbonate rocks, as well as by tracks and trails of wormlike creatures in other rocks. Initially, in a generalized outline of the Precambrian history of the region, the Vishnu Schist was upraised, folded, and metamorphosed and then slowly eroded and worn down to a flat surface. The Grand Canyon Series was deposited perhaps as part of a slowly subsiding geosynclinal trough. The region was then subjected to uplift and tilting, and a Precambrian period of erosion for the Grand Canyon Series began. This action was later followed by a long period of deposition during the Paleozoic Era (540 to 245 million years ago) and then further erosion during the Cenozoic Era (beginning 66.4 million years ago) until the region assumed its modern configuration.

mercruiser tilt trim won't trim up, what is the problem?

The problem I am having is I can't get the lower drive/prop to tilt trim up, I don't get any hydraulic power when I hit my "up tilt" on my control. I do hear power when I hit "down tilt".

This sounds like a solenoid problem but it could also be in the switch., first is the drive all the way down? There is a limit switch that will cut it off. I'm guessing it is. now look at the pump. there are two solenoids, blue and green wires. use a test light to see is each light up while someone else moves the switchs. If the up solenoid lights but the motor don't run check the other side, I'll bet it will not light. replace the solenoid. Good Luck

Guide to Repairing Camper Shells

Step-by-step Guide on Repairing a Camper Shell

Almost all pop-up campers available around have hard and soft shells. For the roof, pop-up campers usually have a hard shell. This type is a recent invention used by outdoor enthusiasts particularly families that love the outdoors. Simple camping trailers merge the amenities and convenience of bigger camping trailers with the portability of having a big tent.

Although pop-up campers are generally easy to maintain, there may be problems encountered particularly when it is used to house the trailer. There have been a lot of cases wherein the outer shells become brittle. In addition, camper shells have a tendency to crack due to cold weather or from years of use. Replacing the entire unit is not a great idea because a brand new one will be expensive.

Thus, it is better to fix it especially if it is just minor. There are certain ways to fix camper shells as well as ensure more nights in the outdoor with campers.

Follow a simple guide that will explain in full detail the easiest and most effective methods for fixing a brittle camper shell. You must have sandpaper, fiberglass repair kit, alcohol swaps, permanent marker, use of a stall or a garage and your own choice of paint and paint color.

Isolate the camper shell’s crack. You have to mark the crack with a permanent marker. Marking the crack allows you to be optimistic that you will repair the camper shell’s broken section and not to miss any portion of the crack that would still let moisture in it.

Scuff the area with the crack and the edges with the sandpaper.

The next thing you have to do is to spread the fiberglass cloth and cut it. You have to measure the length and width of the crack so that the length and width of the fiberglass will entirely cover the camper shell’s crack. Cut the fiberglass with 2 up to 3 inches of overlap from its edges.

Mix the fiberglass epoxy clay and spread it on the crack. Apply only a thin coating on the crack itself and a thicker layer around the crack.

Place the cutout portion of the fiberglass cloth on the epoxy clay and spread another coating of epoxy clay over the fiberglass cloth. You can repeat this process 3 times in order to build an ample coating of fiberglass over the cracked area.

6th Step – You will have to allow the resin of the fiberglass to dry indoors for 1 up to 2 days.

Once the resin is thoroughly dry, lightly sand the surface and the edges of the fiberglass cloth patch.

Using the alcohol swabs, dust off and clean the area around the fiberglass patch.

You will paint the fiberglass area with touch up paint. Make sure that the color of the paint will match the camper’s color. If not, you may have to paint the whole top portion of the camper shell.

The paint will dry after a day or two. After the top portion of the camper shell is dry, you can now use it for your next camping trip.

Tips When Repairing Camper Shells

Apply 3 to 4 coatings of fiberglass cloth and epoxy clay on cracks. It is strong enough to seal cracks and make it watertight. On the other hand, if the cracked area of the camper shell is within a high stress zone” apply 6 coatings or more on the affected area.

Make extra caution when sanding the area around the crack for camper shells are sharp. It is advisable to wear gloves when repairing camper shells.
