Two plates when pushed upwards and against each other form mountain ranges. The reverse process is when two plates pull away from each other which would result in a canyon. A normal sized river flows due to this, running from north to south on its top.

Plate Tectonics raises uplands and mountain chains, yes, but canyons in such landscapes are incised by rivers. Plate rifting (rather than plates pulling away from each other, which is a constructive plate margin) can create a rift valley such as the Great Rift Valley in Kenya. While such a valley may carry a river it does so by consequence. The last sentence does not really make sense.
What else can I help you with?
When are island arc volcanoes formed?
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
What is canyons the difference between trenches?
Canyons are deep, narrow valleys with steep sides that are usually formed by erosion from water, while trenches are long, narrow depressions on the ocean floor caused by tectonic activity. Canyons are typically found on land, created by rivers or glaciers, while trenches are found underwater, usually at the boundaries of tectonic plates.
When are island-arc volcanoes formed?
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
What is formed when the rock making up a tectonic plate breaks or moves?
A fault
Does Venus's have any canyons?
Yes, Venus does have canyons. The most notable canyon on Venus is called Enki Catena, which is located in the southern hemisphere of the planet. It is believed to have been formed by volcanic activity and tectonic forces.
When are island arc volcanoes formed?
The island-arc volcanoes are formed from the subduction of an oceanic tectonic plate under another tectonic plate, and often parallel an oceanic trench.
How were lanforms formed?
Landforms are typically formed through a combination of natural processes such as erosion, weathering, deposition, and tectonic activity. For example, mountains can be formed through tectonic plate movements, while valleys can be carved out by rivers over time. Wind and water erosion play a significant role in shaping landforms like canyons and caves.

What from of plate tectonic movement formed the Himalayas?
The Himalayas were formed by the collision of the Eurasian plate (continental) and the Indo-Australian plate (continental).
Many of the Caribbean islands were formed by what type of tectonic activity?
Many of the Caribbean islands were formed by volcanic activity along tectonic plate boundaries, particularly where the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate interact. This activity has led to the creation of volcanic islands and underwater mountain chains in the region.
What is formed when the rock making up a tectonic plate breaks or moves?
A fault
Where are most volcano form?
They are mostly formed along tectonic plate boundaries.
What kinds of mountains are formed by plate tectonic motions?
All of them. Every mountain there is.
A trench forms when?
In geology a trench is formed where one tectonic plate is subducted or forced under another plate.
Does Venus's have any canyons?
Yes, Venus does have canyons. The most notable canyon on Venus is called Enki Catena, which is located in the southern hemisphere of the planet. It is believed to have been formed by volcanic activity and tectonic forces.
On which tectonic plate is panama located?
Actually, people think that Panama is on the Central America Tectonic plate, but it's really on a little tectonic plate, called the Panama Tectonic Plate.
