Explain all the types of erosion caused by water
noname [10]

Answer:

There are three types of soil erosion caused by water. They are: Sheet, Rill and Gully.

Sheet Erosion

This type of erosion takes away the top soil over a wide area thereby making it look as though it took a sheet of the top soil. As a result, this is not easy to notice at first glance because the soil from the whole area is gone so there is nothing to compare it to.

Rill Erosion

When water goes in channels and makes lines in the soil a by carrying off the soil that was previously on those lines, that is rill erosion. These channels must be shallow to be considered Rill erosion however because if they are too big, it would become gully erosion.

Gully Erosion

Gully erosion is much like Rill erosion but on a much larger scale. With gully erosion, the channels are much bigger and allow for more soil to be taken. Gully erosion can remove a lot of soil from an area. The Grand Canyon for instance was formed by Gully erosion.
