not only are canyons created by water but they are also created by wind erosion and glaciers that pass through

No, not all canyons are created by water. While many canyons are indeed formed by the erosion caused by rivers or streams, other canyons are created through other geological processes such as tectonic activity, volcanic activity, or glacial activity. These canyons can be formed by processes like faulting, volcanic eruptions, or the retreat of glaciers.

Are canyons built up of wind?
No, canyons are eroded by water cutting through rock. It has taken at least 6 million years - maybe 70 - for the Grand Canyon to be created.

Where are canyons located?
. To answer your question they are found in drier climates. But not to dry for water not to run. Why? Because without the water to shape canyons and do a process called erosion, there wouldn't be canyons.
How were canyons created?
By upheaval and erosion.
Can canyons produce energy?
No.However if a dam is built somewhere in the canyon (canyons usually have rivers flow through them - which created the canyon) the water released through the dam can create electricity (hydroelectric power).
