No explanation is given for why the region west of the Grand Canyon subsided almost a mile or why the Colorado Plateau might have tipped down to the southwest—the opposite of what a subducting plate would produce.
82.
Kaibab Plateau. Today, the Kaibab Plateau rise 1,700 feet higher than Hopi Lake could have been, so the Kaibab Plateau must have risen after Hopi Lake began spilling westward. (Had Hopi Lake been higher than about 6,000 feet, it would have spilled out to the north instead of over the 7,700-foot-high Kaibab Plateau to the west.)
83.
Missing Mesozoic Rock. Water spilling out of Hopi Lake would not sweep off the Mesozoic rock in the funnel, south of the funnel, west of the funnel, or off the Kaibab Limestone north of the Grand Canyon, including off the high Kaibab Plateau. Also, Mesozoic rock has been removed from all around Shinumo Altar, and yet Shinumo Altar lies near the wide end of the funnel but north of where Hopi Lake’s waters would have traveled. (The Mesozoic rock in that butte was preserved because it was, and is, capped by hard rock.61) [See Figure 137 on page 229.]
84.

85.

87.
Other. Today, the Colorado River, would have to flow 2,400 feet uphill if it were to flow into the basin that once held Hopi Lake.
