A canyon is a steep sided valley and a mountain is an elevating land formation. One goes up one goes down. They are both natural land formations made of rock.

How are canyons and mountains different?

Mountains rise up out of the earth like giant hills, and canyons are like large holes in the earth, so on either side of a canyon you could say there are mountains. If you were to google The Grand Canyon it would help you determine what a canyon is. So basically they are 2 opposites; a mountain rises out of the ground and a canyon is an incredibly large "hole" in the ground. I hope this has helped you!
