Leland Heres my two cents The remaining earths crust has major faulting some that penetrate down to the base of the continental crust. All rivers follow these faults. All the canyons were large cracks that opened up in the crust and the rivers just follow the natural lowest points. The entire crust is floating on a series of alternating levels of solid and liquid layers. Gravitational forces cause the metals to gather in tides under the crust. At times the motions of these tides has the rhythm and direction and magnitude to cause minor adjustments in the faults. Therefore earthquakes can occur anywhere where there are major faults. Kamron
