There are only a few types of canyons. These are river canyons, mountain canyons, and canyons that were formed by weathering and erosion.

Very few types indeed. One in fact! All canyons are formed by weathering & erosion; and all are or were river canyons irrespective of mountains. The requirements for a canyon or gorge to form are a high plateau catchment area feeding a large river for sufficiently long for it to cut back from a steep rim.
