_All Rivers_ ??? _All Canyons_ ???
Geez, Kamron, you sure know how to paint broad strokes. 🙂
Rivers occur anywhere water overfills a basin and continues to supply that
basin. Rivers can, and do, then proceed to cut canyons through erosive means.
I'm afraid I have to take exception to your painting style. Perhaps it's time
to say things like "In some cases…" or "perhaps…" eh?
