Answer 1

Answer:  

Madhya Pradesh

The running water cuts through the clayey soils and makes deep channels known as gullies. The land becomes unfit for cultivation and is known as bad land. In the Chambal basin, such lands are called ravines. Chambal is in the state of Madhya Pradesh.

Answer 2

The assertation is correct but the reason is false.

• Gullies are the deep channels formed when the fast running water cuts the clayey soil from between. Due to the formation of gullies, the land does not remain fit for a longer period for cultivation and is referred to as bad land.
• In the Chambal basin of the Madhya Pardesh such lands are known as ravines not leaching.
• The removal of the clayey soil along the lines of drainage by the runoff of the water from the surface.

Hence, Ravines are the lands affected by sheet erosion in the chambal basin. So, C is the correct option.
