As Fred Schaff indicates, the Grand Canyon is not just one canyon, it is a whole system of Canyons and tributaries. A big problem is that the Canyon is not a symmetrical, uniform tub. It is higher on the North Rim than the South Rim and lower on the West end than the east end. Water would spill out in some places flooding Arizona and Utah before the Canyon could be completely filled. But be that as it may, let’s do some math.The volume of the Grand Canyon is estimated as approximately 5.45 Trillion cubic yards from Lee’s Ferry on the East to the Grand Wash Cliffs on the West.Converting 5.45 Trillion cubic yards (5,450,000,000,000) to gallons(US fluid) yields 1,100,758,441,558,442 gallons (US fluid). So that would be 1 Quadrillion, 100 trillion, 758billion, 441million, 558thousand 442 gallons.In hydrologist technical terms, that is referred to as a sh*tload.Grand Canyon National Park FactsEnjoy some trivia about the Grand Canyon, one of the biggest and most interesting examples of erosion in the world!Grand Canyon National Park covers 1,904 square miles (4,931 square kilometers) and includes an extensive system of tributary canyons.The highest points at the Grand Canyon are found at Point Imperial on the North Rim, which is 8,803 feet high, and Navajo Point on the South Rim, which is 7,498 feet high. Compare this to the elevation of the lowest point at Phantom Ranch on the bottom of the canyon floor, which is 2,400 feet high.The Grand Canyon averages 10 miles in width. Its narrowest point is in Marble Canyon, where it is 600 feet wide. Its maximum width of 18 miles is found at several different points.The greatest depths of the Grand Canyon extend just over 1 mile beneath its rim.The volume of the Grand Canyon is estimated to be 5.45 trillion cubic yards.The total length of the Colorado River is 1,450 miles. Within the Grand Canyon, it measures 277 miles from Lees Ferry in the east to Grand Wash Cliffs, near Lake Mead in Nevada.Speaking of the Colorado River, its average width in the Grand Canyon is 300 feet. It's narrowest width is 76 feet. The river’s average depth is 40 feet, while its greatest depth is a harrowing 85 feet!Hydrologists - Bureau of Labor StatisticsU.S. Bureau of Labor StatisticsHydrologists typically do the following: Measure the properties of bodies of water, such as volume and stream flow. Collect water and soil samples to test for certain properties, such as the pH or pollution levels. Analyze data on the environmental impacts of pollution, erosion, drought, and other problems.

How many zombies would it take to fill the Grand Canyon?Let's do the math.  Grand Canyon National Park is about 277 miles long, averages about 2o miles wide and is a little under 1 mile deep.  There are 5,280 feet in a mile.  So 277 x 5280 = 1.462,560.  20 x 5280 = 105,600.  1 x 5280 = 5280.  Now let's get the cubic footage.   1,462,560 x 105,600 x 5,280 = 815,476,654,080,000.  Let's assume that a typical zombie is 2.5 cubic feet.  So 815,476,654,080,000 / 2.5 = 326,190,661,632,000.  In conclusion, it would take 326 trillion, 190 billion, 661 million, 632 thousand zombies to fill the Grand Canyon. (plus or minus a few thousand).  Your number of zombies might vary.  And if we included the parts of the Grand Canyon that are on Native American Reservations the number would increase dramatically. As we add more zombies on top of zombies, the ones at the bottom would compress, so it could conceivably take another 1 or two trillion zombies.  Alternatively, it might take only 2 zombies if they were prolific in killing humans and filling the Grand Canyon with human bodies.  Not sure which answer you were looking for. 

This is a tough question to answer - and also hilarious! - because of the variable cuts of bacon thickness. So, I decided to go with cooked crumbled bacon which has a standard measurement in cooking - 16 Cooked Slices per cup. Next we ask how many slices would be in a gallon... 256. Next we ask how many gallon are in a cubic foot... 7.48So, now we know it will take 1,915 slices of cooked bacon to fill a cubic foot of volume. Now, how many cubic feet are in the Grand Canyon? This is a big number... 3,567,619,557,675,858 or 3.5 Quadrillion Cubic Feet. We multiply that by the amount of bacon per cubic foot, 3,567,619,557,675,858 x 1,915And we get... 6,817.4 Quadrillion slices, or more accurately...6.8 Quintillion slices of bacon. To take this just a touch further... Bacon when purchased commercially is noted like this "13/15" which would be a normal slice of bacon. A 9/12 would be thick cut. What that means is 13/15 slices per pound, or 9/12 slices per pound. So how many pounds of bacon? So divide out answer by the average of 12/15, 14, and we find we would need 486 quadrillion pounds of bacon. Typical American hogs bred for meat weigh in at about 325 lbs, and about 15% of the hog yields bacon. (How many pounds of bacon are in a pig?) Which is about 49 pounds of bacon per hog. (That seems like a lot to me, but I'm not a hog farmer, so I'll take it from a Quora answer any day of the week.)So, that's about 10 Quadrillion hogs required. Currently the global demand for pork requires about a billion pigs per year. (Global Pig Numbers - World Hog Population, 2002)So, at the current global rate of production, it would take about one billion years to fill the Grand Canyon with bacon.Also, that's not taking into consideration the fact that in 2014 the park saw 4.5 million visitors, some of whom presumably eat bacon. So, you'd need to take into consideration some amount of shrink from people eating all that bacon that's just lying around. If every visitor ate two pieces of bacon - and really, how are you going to blame them for doing so? - that would equal 9 million lost pieces per year. All of this is to say, the answer to your question is that it would take an infinite amount of bacon to fill the Grand Canyon.

The volume of the grand canyon is estimated to be 5.45 trillion cubic yards. Another Quora writer estimated the average volume of a human to be 71 liters, or .09 cubic yards (What's the volume of average human?). So 5.45 trillion divided by .09 = 60.5 trillion people could fit in the Grand Canyon. Now this is assuming complete packing (i.e, no voids, etc.) but even then, considering the world population is approximately 7.6 billion people; I think it’s safe to say the Grand Canyon is large enough to hold all the dead humans several times over when the aliens come and wipe us all out.

Actually, you do know that the Canyon is full right? It is filled with “atmosphere”. And the cost of “atmosphere” is zero. Atmosphere is a combination of gases including oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen among others.So what are you proposing we fill it with? Water, bacon, Bitcoins, Zombies, … I think I have already answered this question if you want to fill it with Zombies. Search for that answer. I have no idea how to answer this if you want to fill it with Bitcoins with the way Bitcoins have been appreciating recently. There might not be enough Bitcoins minted to fill the Canyon with Bitcoins.  But if Bitcoins are just electrons, the Canyon is already filled with electrons.

Kevin Dwyer's answer is a great concise explanation.  That's how I would explain it in 57 words or less. What it leaves out is that many things happened over geological time.  Oceans covered the area and left deposits - slime - which became limestone .  Oceans receded and deserts came and left layers which became sandstone. These are the sedimentary layers.  These layers put pressure on lower layers compressing them.   Under these layers pressures occurred creating metamorphic layers.  And under all these layers we had different processes that created igneous rocks.  These can be seen in the Vishnu schist and gneisses at the bottom of the Canyon.  So we have had lots of layers - pancakes - over time. The mnemonic for this is KTCH, SRMBTKnow the Canyons History, Study Rocks Made By Time.  Which stands for the layers from top to bottom:K - Kaibab LimestoneT - Toroweap FormationC- Coconino SandstoneH - Hermit ShaleS - Supai formationR - Redwall LimestoneM - Muav LimestoneB - Bright Angel ShaleT - Tapeats SandstoneV :) Vishnu Schist. Grand Canyon Rock LayersBut then we get things like the Great Unconformity where about 1 and a half billion years of time is missing.  Must have been some crazy winds blowing all that sand away.  And we get neat things like the GREAT LARAMIDE OROGENY.  This is the orogenous uplift that Kevin mentions.  It probably involved Tectonic Plates. And then we get the erosion of the Colorado River. Or was it two rivers that came together to form one river and form the Colorado River?  Or piracy - one river from another? Or was spillover from lakes that burst and formed a river that formed the Colorado River?And that is how we think it was formed over about six million years - more or less - we aren't exactly sure. And we aren't exactly sure about what we know.  But we know it was something like this.  And we are still studying the Canyon and learning. What I know (and don't know) can mostly be attributed to Dr. Wayne Ranney and the Park Service Rangers and people he has taught over the years who have taught me.   Here is Dr. Ranney explaining how we think the Canyon was formed.

This question is disgusting, and yet as a mathematician I am quite intrigued! Often, mathematical answers will surprise us, and this one certainly did! It would take MUCH longer than I would have guessed.The Grand Canyon contains roughly 4,166,824,750,000,000,000 cubic centimeters of space. To describe that number, you would say “approximately 4.2 quintillion.”As I type this response (in mid-2019), the world population is 7,698,316,324. The average human produces 175 cubic centimeters of feces daily. Multiplying those two numbers together, the human race at the current population could generate 1,347,205,356,700 cubic centimeters of excrement per day (that’s 1.3 trillion cubic cm, roughly 1.5 million tons daily, yuck).Now, simply divide the volume of the Grand Canyon by our daily output to obtain the number of days it would take.The answer is about 3,092,940 days, which is equivalent to 8,468 years. So the calendar year AD 10,487 should do it. The human population will grow over the years, but it won’t impact the problem signNowly. Many scientists believe our earth cannot support any greater than 9 or 10 billion people anyway. With population increases, we may be able to fill the Grand Canyon in as little as 7,500 years, but it’s still a huge number, way more than I first guessed.
