The three different types of canyons are slot, box, and submarine canyons. They are formed by the process of weathering and erosion and also by tectonic activity.

Answer:

Over thousands of years a river's flowing water erodes or wears down rocks and soil to create a valley. The largest and most popular canyons have had slit through dry areas by swift streams sustained by rain or melting snow from wetter areas.
