Landforms - Western Grand Canyon• Hurricane Fault – most active in Arizona• Vulcan’s Throne – Volcanism and lava dams in
the Grand Canyon, 3 Ma to the present• Paleo-channels - that came from the Mogollon
Highlands• Havasu Falls – continuous deposition of
calcium carbonate in the water causes agradation and eventually waterfalls.
• Surprise Canyon Landslide – Largest in Arizona
