How are rills and gullies formed?

Rills
How are rills and gullies similar and different?
Rills and gullies are both landforms formed by erosion caused by flowing water. The main difference is in their size and scale: rills are smaller and shallower, while gullies are larger and deeper. Gullies tend to be more pronounced and have steeper sides compared to rills.

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.
