A rancher overgrazes his land in an area underlain by heavy clay soils and regolith developed from weathering of claystone. After a series of heavy rains small creeks develop deep gullies along their length. A light steady rain develops and continues for several days. What should the rancher be concerned about on his overgrazed lands?

    Slumps along the creeks

    Explanation:

    Light and constant rain can cause small floods that can cause soil loss. Soil loss in this case will do damage to the farmer, since agricultural crops do not need a large amount of soil to deepen their roots. In the case of the farmer shown in the question, as rain has already caused the formation of small creeks, rain can cause slumps along the creeks that can be harmful to the farmer and for that reason he should look for ways to prevent this from happening.
