1st of all ... when anything (( plates )) dries --- they shrink --- cracks (( canyons ))!

Most of these layers were formed from below as the earth cooled --- bubbled ...

and then mixture // 'batter' protruded hills and buttes (( cambrian layers // plates on the tops )) through the cracks and holes from below !

The surface plate layers are from volcanic and flood sediments --- 'frosting' !
