Mountains are the result of two [earth] crust plates pushing together due to a motion in the earth's crust called plate techtonics. Canyons are generally the result of being cut either by glaciers or rivers. The Grand Canyon, for example, was cut by the Colorado River.

Why are there no canyons east of the Rocky Mountains?
Thereare canyons east of the Rocky Mountains, but they are small compared to those in the Rockies. The Rockies have had a geologically recent uplift, so the canyons carved by the rivers are relatively young (thus well defined) and deep. Canyons in the east are smaller and have had time to be substantially eroded.
How do canyons and mountains compare?
Canyons are deep valleys with steep sides created by erosion, while mountains are tall, natural landforms with peaks and valleys formed by tectonic forces or volcanic activity. Canyons are typically formed by rivers cutting through land, while mountains are a result of the Earth's crust being pushed up or squeezed together. Both canyons and mountains offer stunning scenery and attract outdoor enthusiasts.
