Oct 3, 2014 at 21:06 comment added Twelfth Tried to give a tectonic vs hard-shell answer for you...the other questions you ask will have interesting answers (like erosion and valley formation...the grandcanyon is a combination of ice flattening out and crushing the rocks into fine sediment, followed by years of rivers cutting into that left behind sediment)

Oct 3, 2014 at 19:26 comment added Tim B @Twelfth That's a good question, and I'm actually really interested to see the answer. So long as it's a geological process that can create a habitable planet at the end then it would fit the question although plate tectonics will provide a more "familiar" result which gives them some advantage.
Oct 3, 2014 at 19:19 comment added Twelfth Are we working within the realms of plate tectonics to answer this question, or do we have some leeway in type of formations? Earth is a bit unique with our plate setup...A planet like venus lacks the plates, and this gives it very distinctive volcanoes that release the pent up energy instead...with turns into some pretty massive volcanoes that dominate the scene, as opposed to mountain ranges.
