| Geography Dictionary: arroyo |
A gully which is rectangular, rather than V-shaped, in cross-section, usually with a sandy floor. Arroyos occur in fine-grained cohesive sediments in arid environments, and result from the entrenchment of stream channels caused when run-off increases, either through climatic or land use changes. Arroyos are common in the south-western United States.
