🇺🇸GRAND CANYON? TRY GRAND IMPACT - METEOR MAYHEM MAY HAVE CARVED IT

Forget slow erosion - a new study claims Arizona’s most iconic canyon might have started with a cosmic sucker punch.

Researchers now think the same 56,000-year-old meteor that left a giant hole in the desert also kicked off landslides that dammed the Colorado River and created a massive paleolake.

That ancient lake? It burst, caused insane floods, and helped rip open the Grand Canyon - explaining why driftwood ended up XXX feet above the river like nature’s version of "WTF?"

Turns out Mother Nature’s masterpiece may have started with a meteor’s mic drop.
