Steepness of land means that water can run down at greater speeds taking with it lose top soil. Once this top soil is gone this means the under soil which is easy to erode is eroded easily by rainfall and so gullies form due to the erosion of the soil.
Hope this vaguely answered your questions.

How does erosion increase?
Erosion increases when there is a flood and when land is plowed and there is no cover crop that would prevent wind erosion.
How do erosion and deposition affect a coastline?
Usually the matter is, how does erosion affect flooding, as cutting down woods causes increased erosion which causes more flooding. Floods of course affect erosion though, as huge amounts of soil/earth can be transported with the waters in a flood.
How does weathering change land forms?
The higher the land is, the colder it will be. Valleys will usually be less windy and drier than other parts of the land. The climate of any given area of land depends on how much solar energy it absorbs.
What are some land formations in CA formed by erosion?
yosemite falls
The major agent of erosion that shapes Earth's land surface is moving?
Water.
How do you explain how the steepness of the land affects soil erosion?
The steeper the hillside, the higher chance for soil erosion.
How does steepness of slopes affect erosion?
Erosion is driven by the movement of water, or water flow. The steeper the slope, the faster water will flow. The faster water flows, the quicker erosion occurs.
How does clearing land affect erosion?
There will be nothing in the way to stop the erosion.So erosion will happen more.
How does an erosion affect water?
When Erosion Happens Dust & Other Particles Move Around Causing Those Other Particles To Land In The Water & Affect It
How does erosion affect people living in California?
The land can raise tide
How does weathering erosion and deposition affect where people live?
no
What are the causes that affect the shape of the land overtime?
Wind, water, waves, ice, weathering and erosion affect the shape of land over time.
What are wind and water erosion not likely to affect?
inner areas of a piece of land
How erosion affect aimals?
how does erosion affect animals
How does the steepness of a slope and ground moisture affect landslide potential?
it can slip
How does water affect erosion?
constant flowing affect erosion
How does beach erosion affect your economy?
it washes up the land and that is not good for the people, animals, and plants of the economy.
