Ravines and gullies occupy vast areas in the country and cause significant damage to agriculture. Explain what they have in common and what are the differences.

Natural and anthropogenic factors contribute to the formation of ravines. The spread of loess rocks, the presence of slopes, flushing water regime and improper plowing of slopes, the absence of snow retention leads to the formation of ruts, and then ravines. It is extremely difficult to stop the growth of a ravine. As a rule, they fight ravines by planting shrubs and trees on its slopes. The roots of plants keep the soil from erosion, the slopes of the ravine are gradually covered with sod. The ravine that has stopped growing and the surface of the slopes is covered with vegetation are called ravines.
