Topic: Gully


  
  Gully - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gullies resemble large ditches or small valleys, but are metres to tens of metres in height and width.
Hillsides are more prone to gullying when they are cleared of forest or grazed, where eroded soil is easily carried by the flowing water after being disloged from the ground, and when rainfall falls during short, intense storms as during thunderstorms.
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.
