What is more dangerous rill erosion or gully erosion?

Gully erosion is typically more dangerous than rill erosion as it involves larger and deeper channels that can cause significant damage to landscapes and infrastructure. Gully erosion can lead to land degradation, loss of soil fertility, and increased sedimentation in water bodies, which can have detrimental environmental and economic impacts.


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.


Explain rill erosion and how it differs from gully erosion?

Rill erosion is the erosion caused by the flow of water in small, narrow channels, typically less than 30 cm deep. It occurs on slopes and is characterized by the formation of tiny channels that are shallower compared to gully erosion. Gully erosion, on the other hand, involves the formation of deeper and wider channels, typically more than 30 cm deep, due to concentrated water flow, resulting in more significant soil loss.


How deep can a ravine be?

Ravines can vary in depth, but they are typically between 30-100 feet deep. However, some ravines can be much deeper, reaching depths of several hundred feet or more, depending on the geology and erosion process in the area.


How does erosion and wearing away of a mountain affect the depth to which the crust extends into the asthenosphere?

Erosion and wearing away of a mountain decreases the weight of the crust, causing it to rise higher and extend deeper into the asthenosphere. This process is known as isostatic rebound. As material is removed from the surface through erosion, the crust floats higher on the denser asthenosphere below, causing it to sink deeper.

What are the gastric ulcer and doudenal ulcer?

An ulcer is an erosion in the mucosal layer of the digestive tract. A gastric ulcer occurs in the lining of the stomach. A duodenal ulcer is an ulcer that occurs in the mucosa of the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). Both types of ulcers have been known to be caused by the bacteria Helicobacter pylori and are easily treatable. If untreated, they can lead to stomach cancer.

What are three types eroding action by water?

# Inter-rill erosion : The movement of soil by rain splash and its transport by this surface flow. # Rill erosion by concentrated flow in small rivulets. # Gully erosion by runoff scouring large channels (deeper than 1 foot).
