Gullying or gully erosion is the process by which gullies are formed Hillsides are more prone to gullying when they are cleared of vegetation.Sheet erosion is the removal of soil in thin layers.
Sheet erosion is just one step of the erosion process. It is then often followed by rill and gully erosion.

Sheet erosion and Gully erosion are the two common ways by which soil gets eroded.
Sheet erosion - When there is heavy rainfall, the top layer of a soil over large areas get washed away.
When rainwater in a region flows down the slopes making deep and narrow furrows, it is called Gully erosion. Such gullies make the land unfit for cultivation and result in the formation of badlands , as in the Chambal Valley of Madhya Pradesh (India)
