Where is the majestic Providence Canyon in America created?
Not entirely formed by the hands of nature, the Providence canyon in America was created by the reason few people expected.

About 240km southwest of Atlanta (USA), Providence gorge in the state of Georgia (USA) is likened to the miniature Grand Canyon. Unlike the Grand Canyon that appears due to the flow of the Colorado River over millions of years, the Providence alley formed by rainwater flowing from nearby fields in less than a century .(Photo: Amusing Planet).
Providence began to take shape in the early years of the 19th century. At this time, agriculture here was backward, cheap land, no plantations, farms or modern, eco-friendly farming systems. school(Photo: Amusing Planet).
Consequently, the primary forest was destroyed to cultivate the fertile soil but soon after, the soil quickly eroded and lost its surface.The slumps began to form and develop more and more.(Photo: Amusing Planet).
In 1850, these trenches were only 1-1.5m deep.The rate of erosion and landslides then increased rapidly.To date, some gorges in Providence are up to 45m deep.(Photo: Amusing Planet).
Although newly formed for nearly 200 years, Providence gorge is the great treasure of geologists.Soil erosion exposes geological layers up to several million years old.(Photo: Robert Downie).
Thanks to these different geological layers, the alley is colorful.Red coarse sand is an expression of iron oxide layer.The layers of gold and purple sediments are limonite and manganese respectively.The black clay layer is located on the lowest floor.(Photo: Life Global).
Not only valuable for geological researchers, this canyon also becomes a tourist attraction, photographing tourists and couples in Georgia.(Photo: Nessa K).
So far, Providence gorge continues to erode.However, the floor of the canyon began to have the appearance of pine and some other plants.This makes the alley wall more stable, reducing the possibility of sudden landslides.(Photo: @ therealskeeter1).
