The network of rills gullies streams and rivers in an area is called what?
A river system

Precipitation -- rain and snow cause flowing water in nature.
How do rills form gulies?
Over time, rills expand and join together causing gullies.
What is the correct order for the process of water eroding soil?

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.
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 difference between rill and sheet erosion?
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 networks of rills and creeks and streams flow into a river?
floodplain
What statement best describes the process that forms a stream?
Tiny rills enlarge to form gullies, which join to form a stream.
