The Grand Canyon follows a meandering course and has a dendritic ( tree-like ) system of tributary canyons. It was clearly formed by a gradual erosion process.

Compare and contrast the "braided stream" appearance of the Spokane Scablands, caused by the scouring action of a catastrophic flood.

I lived twenty-five miles south of mount Saint Helens when it blew up May 18, 1980. It was quite a show. The mountain blowing up was quite a display. What was even more remarkable was the mud flows we watched on the news for the next week. These mud flows from the side of mountain formed a minature grand canyon. This minuature grand canyon is complete with layers of different sizes of rocks (strata). Notice that the canyon formed from Mount Saint Helens "has a dendritic ( tree-like ) system of tributary canyons". It was clearly formed by a catastrophic flood as I watched it form (hint: observation) from live pictures on the news. Did you observe the grad canyon "formed by a gradual erosiion process". Perhaps you have invented the worlds first time machine and watched the grand canyon form----you should patent it....

The braided pattern is apparently also what is seen in Permian strata at the mass extinction point. The thought is that the massive die-off of land vegetation caused extreme erosion and allowed the braided stream pattern to appear. I suppose braided streams only occur when the water is able to cut through the soil because nothing holds it together or when it is rushing through with such force it simply uproots all vegetation in its way. I'm sure geologists can tell the difference.
