(a) gullies in band lands are formed when running water cuts through soils making deep channels
Explanation:
- Badlands are dry terrain which formed due to the heavy erosion of softer sedimentary rocks and clay-rich soils by the exogenic agents like wind and water. These types of lands are not suitable for agriculture.
- Gullies are formed in badland when water concentrate into narrow runoff paths and channels. It cuts into the soil to the depths in a shorter duration.
- The formation of badlands is a natural process. But artificial badlands can also be created by destroying vegetation cover, excessive overgrazing, mining, etc. An example of artificial badland is the Roman Gold mine (Northern Spain).
