What is the correct order for the process of water eroding soil?
sheet erosion, rills, gullies
What is the definition for rills?
Rills are a product of soil erosion by water, and can be defined as small incised channels in the soil that result from the actions of flowing water over an unvegetated or partially vegetated soil surface. They can be obliterated by tillage (ploughing over the rills). Where they are too large to be removed by tillage, they are referred to as gullies.
What is the difference between rill and sheet erosion?
Rills are basically little gullies, which are little valleys of sorts; they're the smallest type of drainage "chute" if you will. Sheet erosion is where there's basically a flood moving down a hillside without any flow concentration in rills or gullies. Sheet erosion is typically much more efficient at removing material.
Compare and contrast rill and gully erosion?
rill erosion takes place when flowing water curves out numerous closely spaced thin chanels while flowing down steep slopes.when rill erosion becomes wider and deeper it forms a heavy type of erosion called gully erosion.
Where are gullies?
A gully is a landform created by running water that has eroded the soil. Gullies resemble large ditches or small valleys.
How do rills form gulies?
Over time, rills expand and join together causing gullies.
What is the different between rills gullies and streams?
Rills are small channels formed by flowing water on a slope, gullies are larger and deeper channels typically caused by erosion, and streams are larger bodies of moving water that can support aquatic life and flow towards a larger body of water like a river or ocean.
What is the definition of a system?
A network of rills, gullies, streams, and rivers in an area.
What is the definition of a river system?
A network of rills, gullies, streams, and rivers in an area.
The network of rills gullies streams and rivers in an area is called what?
A river system

What is the correct order of for the process of water eroding soil?
sheet erosion, rills, gullies
What is the difference rill erosion and gully erosion?
A rill is a much smaller channel. A gully was once a rill that got broader and deeper. There are another differences too: 1- Ratio of width to depth: In gully that ratio is approximately 1:1 but in rills width is greater than itsdepth. 2- In agricultural activities, rills can be removed but gullies can not. 3- In specific area, number of rills are higher than gullies. 4- sediment production of gullies is much higher than Rills.
How are rills and gullies formed?
Rills are formed by erosion. As soil erodes a thin channel is left, this channel fills with water. Gullies are formed by running water. An area where many rills have formed can turn into a gully.
Rills gullies streams rivers and tributaries are all cause by?
Precipitation -- rain and snow cause flowing water in nature.
What statement best describes the process that forms a stream?
Tiny rills enlarge to form gullies, which join to form a stream.
