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.

What are the 4 types of water erosion?
Sheet ,gully, splash and rill water erosion
What causes deepening and widening of rill channels?
Rill erosion which is erosion by running water in small channels
Compare rill and gully erosion?
No
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.
What is erosion over a large flat area?
rill

A rill is a much smaller channel. From Sabreena :)

What are rill and gully erosion caused by?
water runnoff
Between rill erosion and gully erosion which is the most damaging?
Gully erosion is usually the result of improper outlet design for local surface and subsurface drainage systems.
What is erosion where a rill becomes broader and deeper?
gully
What is erosion over a large flat area?
rill
Rill and gully erosion are caused by .?

What is rill eroison?
rill erosion is formed by stuff in a place running off the thing into the drain of the place and yeah
What are three different types of erosion?
The four types or mechanisms of erosion are rill erosion, gully erosion, stream bank erosion, and sheet erosion. In sheet erosion a thin layer of the surface is removed. In rill erosion, small rivulets of running water gather together and cut small channels. In gully erosion, rills enlarge to form bigger channels too large to be removed by normal tillage. Finally, streambank erosion is the washing away of soil from banks of streams and rivers. Erosion is a natural, continuous process, but agricultural practices can speed erosion, resulting in lost soil, lost soil fertility, air pollution, and water pollution. Wind and water are the main agents that move soil.
