How long does it take a canyon to form?

Canyons can take millions of years to form through the process of erosion by water, wind, and ice.

When a volcano has formed can it go away?

Yes, a volcano can go away over time. Volcanoes can become extinct when they no longer have any active magma source to erupt. Erosion and weathering can also gradually erode the volcano's cone and eventually cause it to disappear. However, the process of a volcano going away can take thousands or even millions of years.
