Different landforms can come from several different forces like.

Most of them come from the mantle. Earth's crust is floating on the mantle and it's broken into a handful of pieces, which means Earth is changing all the time. Mountains come from earth being pressed together, making peaks rise of from those forces. These changes in the crust are also responsible for earthquakes and volcanoes. Volcanoes usually start out as holes in the ground, but when they erupt lava the lava around it cools and becomes igneous rock, making the hole a little higher off the ground. Several eruptions will make the mountain higher, and eventually this volcano will become a mountain.

Another force that makes landforms is weathering. Water, other rocks, even dust in the wind can slowly break apart at stone to create structure. Rock arches are made by dust in the air weathering away at rock, making a hole in it. Rivers can start to weather the ground it runs among, creating depressions in the rock that in millions of years, can become valleys or canyons. You'll find that these two landforms typically will have a little river at the bottom.
