Satellite images, as well as pictures taken by astronauts in orbit, seem to indicate that the Grand Canyon is an enormous Lichtenberg figure, in other words, a gigantic lightning scar. As the Electric Universe hypothesis suggests, electric discharge machining (EDM) might account for the Canyon's appearance: steep walls, thousands of layers, brachiated side canyons at practically every scale, and periodic, hemispherical "nips" cut into each rim.

The Grand Canyon: Part One
See the white stuff? that's snow on the Kaibab Upwarp. How could water erosion cut through the change in elevation at right angles to the slope? There would be 1300 cubic kilometers of debris at the mouth of the Colorado
Not saying it's likely to happen anywhere tomorrow of course, but the North hemisphere of Mars was eroded 6 miles deep and the material was deposited in the Southern hemisphere.
