Create an eroded landscape analogous to the Grand Canyon

First I found a mathematical equation that created a valley when put in the erosion code for i=1:NX for j=1:NY Z(i,j)=30+.1*(sqrt(abs((i^2-j^2)+(i+j)))); if Z(i,j)>38 Z(i,j)=40; end Then I added a small if statement to simulate different rocks with different erosion tolerances if Z(i,j)>30 n=1.0; else n=2.0; end Finally I added a couple of hills using the initial hill function from the original code to make the erosion more interesting
