Canyons are formed by rivers engraving a hole in the rock over time and trenches are the result of tectonic plates separating.

What types of land features are there?
There are many, including moutains, rivers, oceans, lakes, trenches, cliffs, canyons, mesas, platauos, hills, valleys, ravines, floodplains, deltas, and U-Shaped Valleys.
Are there canyons on the Earth?
Earth has many canyons thanks to weathering and erosion.
Are canyons only formed in hot places?
No, there are canyons in cold places and underwater.
Why are canyons important?
Canyons can be dangerous because they can be deep and contain many obstacles for hikers. Many people are injured or killed every year from falling into canyons while hiking.
Does Venus's have any canyons?
Venus is considered to be the hottest planet in the solar system. Venus is referred to as Earths twin due to the canyons, mountains, valleys, and volcanic activity.
What are deep under water canyons called?
Trenches
How are canyons and trenches alike?
canyons and threnches are alike because they are both deep and they love each other
How are land canyons an ocean trenches alike?
figure it out ur self stupid people these days
What happens to the ocean floor at the deep ocean trenches?
what happens is the ocean floor does not just keep spreading.instead, it sinks beneath deep underwater canyons called deep- ocean trenches
What are other names for the deep ocean floor?
The Hadalpelagic Zone (The Trenches). Life can still be found there, though this area is mainly canyons.
How are valleys and trenches alike and how do they are different?
Unlike deep sea trenches which are found in areas where one tectonic plate slides beneath another undersea canyons are found along the slopes of most continental margins the submarine canyons for example tend to have steeper side slopes much higher gradients and considerably narrower floors. thats how they different
What are Deep underwater canyons called?
The oceans floor doesn't just keep getting wider instead the ocean floor plunges into deep underwater canyons called deepocean trenches.Where ever deep ocean trenches are there is subduction.

What is the difference between a ocean ridge and trench?
Trenches are formed by divergent plates, Whereas Ridges are formed by plate in collision.
Why does deep-ocean trench occur?
At deep-ocean trenches, subduction allows part of the ocean floor to sink back into the mantle. The ocean floor does not just keep spreading. Instead, it sinks beneath deep underwater canyons called deep-ocean trenches. Where there are trenches, subduction takes place.

Features that look like canyons in the ocean floor are called?
They are called canyons or trenches, depending on what and where they are. Canyons cut back into the continental shelves or are scoured channels along the shelf surface, some developed during glacial phases when the sea-level was far lower and some of what are now sea-ways, like the English Channel, were river valleys. Trenches are particularly associated with subduction zones, where the ocean floor plate is being bent down and forced below the continent.
