Answer 2

The similarity between a meander and a gully is that "Meander and gully are created by flowing water".

Step-by-step explanation:

• A gully is formed when rainwater runs-off to form a large groove or rill in the soil. Gullies come together to form streams.

• Meanders are formed by running water in the course of a river. These are formed in hard rocks.

• Over time, meanders and gullies may deepen and widen.

• Gullies may form valleys. Meanders may form gorges or canyons.

• Both meanders and gullies are formed by the action of moving water especially when water is moving at a high or constant speed.
