They form by earthquakes
The badlands where formed by thawing. the badlands where once covered in water and then it froze for the iceage.........then all the ice melted and all there was left was layers of rocks and hoodoos.
I'm not sure if this is true, but I've heard it is made out of the sedimentary rock, sandstone, and other things like coal.
Badlands are formed by erosional processes, mainly that of water downcutting the soft clay.

The canyons in Badlands National Park in South Dakota were formed by the depostion of layers composed of tiny grains of sediments such as sand, silt, and clay, and then by erosion when the Cheyenne River captured streams and rivers flowing from the Black Hills into the Badlands region.
Igneous Rocks, metamorphic rocks, and sedimentary rocks
they are made of sedimentary rocks, but I'm not sure of their actual make-up.
It's a big place. According to the Canadian Badlands website, www.canadianbadlands.com the Canadian Badlands covers "a broad swath of southern and eastern Alberta". A map there shows that it extends roughly south from Red Deer, Alberta to the border with the state of Montana - about 450km or 280 miles, and east from Calgary to the border with the province of Saskatchewan - about 350km or 220 miles. That would make it approximately 157,500 to 159,543 square kilometres, or 60,811 to 61,600 square miles in area.

The badlands are in South Dakota.
They were formed when the earth's plates collided with each other.
Badlands Wilderness was created in 1976.
