Gullies are formed by running water. The water washes down to low point, and the flow slowly erodes the dirt into a gully.

How are gullies and streams alike?
Both have to do with water
How does steepness of the land affect erosion?
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. :)
What is gully Describe how gully could be healed?
A gully is a landformcreated by running water, eroding sharply into soil, typically on a hillside. Gullies resemble large ditches or small valleys, but are metres to tens of metres in depth and width. When the gully formation is in process, the water flow rate can be substantial, which causes the significant deep cutting action into soil.Gullying or gully erosion is the process by which gullies are formed. Hillsides are more prone to gullying when they are cleared of vegetation, throughdeforestation, over-grazing or other means. The eroded soil is easily carried by the flowing water after being dislodged from the ground, normally whenrainfall falls during short, intense storms such as during thunderstorms.The gully moves upward at a nick point. This is from interflow as well as surface runoff. This interflow is quite important for the propagation of the nick point and its migration upstream.Gullies reduce the productivity of farmland where they incise into the land, and produce sediment that may clog downstream waterbodies. Because of this, much effort is invested into the study of gullies within the scope of geomorphology, in the prevention of gully erosion, and in restoration of gullied landscapes. The total soil loss from gully formation and subsequent downstream river sedimentation can be sizable.

What statement best describes the process that forms a stream?
Tiny rills enlarge to form gullies, which join to form a stream.
How do rills form gulies?
Over time, rills expand and join together causing gullies.
What are gullies?
Water erosion trenches, created naturally by water run off are known as gullies.
Why do gullies form?
becus it becomes deeper as rain continaully washes the soil away and that is how gully is formed
Why would gullies be most likely to form where theirs no plants of soil?
I think because it will flow with no obstacle on its way
Unlike gullies streams rarley do what?
Unlike gullies, streams rarely dry up.
How are streams diferennt than gullies?
Streams are different from gullies because it doesn't dry up.
Where would gullies form a field with plowed soil and no plants or a field with thick grass?
a field with plowed soil and no plants
Where should gullies be more likely to form a field with plowed soil and no plants or a field covered with thick grass?
In the latter.
What happens to the land between the gullies as they grow wider?
channel erosion occurs when the gullies are too wide
