Big Canyon, Canyon in British Columbia, Canada.
The steep cliffs of Big Canyon reveal multiple layers of sedimentary rock formations, created through natural erosion processes over millions of years.
The geological composition of Big Canyon dates back two billion years, with igneous and metamorphic rocks forming its ancient foundation.
The canyon area serves as a natural laboratory for geologists studying the regional stratigraphic patterns and environmental changes through rock formations.
Visitors access the canyon through designated trails, while researchers obtain permits from British Columbia authorities for geological studies and sample collection.
The canyon walls display horizontal striations that document distinct periods of sediment deposits and environmental transformations in British Columbia.
