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)
