Brahmaputra Grand Canyon
Brahmaputra Grand Canyon is located in "roof of the world" on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, with an average altitude of 3000 meters above deep steep, erosion Cheddar under 5382 meters, with snow and ice from the mountains to the low valley of tropical monsoon rainforest nine vertical natural zone, is the world's mountain vertical naturally with the most complete, most comprehensive place. Brahmaputra Grand Canyon of the basic characteristics can be summed up in ten words: high, strong, dark, run, quiet, long, dangerous, low, odd show.
The causes of the Grand Canyon Zangbo Grand Canyon region and its surrounding areas, the geological structure on vesting East Himalaya knot, with the West Himalaya Namjagbarwa Correspondingly, wedging the mainland India are the strongest parts of the Eurasian continent. Grand Canyon is located in a strong crustal activity centers are constructed to adapt to the tectonic development of bending, tectonic valley. Grand Canyon area is the Indian plate to Eurasian plate subduction collision of the central zone of the eastern side of the Pacific plate has been to resist, so the Grand Canyon with the tectonic shift and bend. Grand Canyon has been found at various depths from the base of the crust, ultramafic rock that tectonic plate suture line did exist. Geological data show that the Grand Canyon nanjiabawa hill bare the inner depths of metamorphic rocks by Rb-Sr isochron method, the absolute age value of 7.49 billion years, which is measured so far our country Himalaya Hill side of the oldest strata of age, which is equivalent to the Precambrian, with the ancient Indian tableland similar geological age, it shows up here are the oldest geological Indian plate stretching part of the North.
