Where powerful rivers once flowed, and carved the landscape. takes a LONG time
Erosion contributes to the formation of deep valleys and canyons by gradually wearing away the rock and soil over time through processes like water flow, wind, and ice movement. The continuous removal of these materials deepens and widens the valleys and canyons, creating the distinctive landforms we see today.
Canyons and valleys are most likely formed by the erosive forces of water over long periods of time. This could include events such as heavy rainfall, flash floods, or the gradual flow of a river cutting through the landscape. Other factors like tectonic activity or glacial movements can also contribute to the formation of canyons and valleys.
. To answer your question they are found in drier climates. But not to dry for water not to run. Why? Because without the water to shape canyons and do a process called erosion, there wouldn't be canyons.
Canyons change over time due to erosion from water, wind, and ice. These forces gradually wear away the rock, widening and deepening the canyon. Tectonic activity, such as earthquakes, can also play a role in the formation and alteration of canyons over long periods of time.
Canyons are not a common landform in tropical rainforests due to the dense vegetation and lack of significant geological processes that typically create canyons. However, some rainforests may have small, narrow canyons formed by erosion from rivers or streams cutting through the terrain over a long period of time. These canyons are usually not as prominent or extensive as those found in arid or mountainous regions. Overall, the presence of canyons in tropical rainforests is limited compared to other types of environments.
Some people think that rivers form canyons, but in fact, the canyons form the rivers
Canyons are found in many deserts around the world.
canyons
steep canyons can form when down cutting is slow or fast
by under ground
the grannd canyons
wind cannot form canyons but it can shape an carve through them.

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.
Utah has so many canyons because when glaciers came through Utah it left the ground in the form of a canyon. rephrased:there are so many canyons because of the glaciers
The Marianas trench .
The submarne canyon is very steep-sidded.
