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.
Is a large channel in the soil that carries runoff?
A large channel in the soil that carries runoff is typically referred to as a gully. Gullies are formed from erosion by flowing water and can vary in size and depth depending on factors such as slope, soil type, and vegetation cover. Addressing gullies is important to prevent further erosion and soil loss.
What are 2 features of water erosion?
the pines and testiculos
When runoff travels downhill it forms tiny groves in the soil called?
rills
When runoff travels downhill it forms tiny grooves in the soils called?
Rills
How do rills form gulies?
Over time, rills expand and join together causing gullies.
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.
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.
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.
The network of rills gullies streams and rivers in an area is called what?
The network of rills, gullies, streams, and rivers in an area is often referred to as a watershed or river basin. This system of interconnected waterways ultimately drains into a common body of water, such as a lake or ocean.
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 statement best describes the process that forms a stream?
Tiny rills enlarge to form gullies, which join to form a stream.
Rills gullies streams rivers and tributaries are all cause by?
Precipitation -- rain and snow cause flowing water in nature.

How are streams diferennt than gullies?
Streams are different from gullies because it doesn't dry up.
