Which enhanced overland flow results when loess erodes?

💡 Explanation

Loess erosion leads to gullying because the silt lacks cohesion and is easily incised by concentrated runoff. Therefore gullies form, rather than distributed sheetwash, because of the concentrated erosion over topographic lows, which deepens fluvial channels.
