Dear Mahboobeh, splash erosion is the material which is splashed from the soil, due to rain water drop impact. When there is no vegetation cover, splash erosion is higher, than when there is vegetation cover. In this case splash erosion is minimum, or it doesn´t exist. Rill erosion is caused by concentrated water flow, which causes incision on the top soil.This geomorphological process may lead to gully erosion, when the depth and the width of the erosion feature is higher than 0.5 m. Interrill erosion is caused by the raindrops which fall on the interrill area, splashing material into the rills. A very good text book that you should read is by R. P.C. Morgan, Soil Erosion and Conservation (2004), 3rd edition, 316p., J. Wiley. Although you will find other text books, but this one is very good and you will find everything you need, regarding splash, rill and interril erosion, and much more.

Hello,

@Maria, provided a valuable comment on your question. Let me share some notes from different point of view on this topic. Different erosion features can occur within an area/slope/watershed based on particle detachment process, transport and detachment source. 

- Splash erosion caused by the impact of water drops falling directly on exposed soil particles (soil surface) which breaks the soil crust.

- Rill erosion is the removal of soil by runoff from small visible channels through concentrated over-land flow. Rills have been formed when flowing water force exceeds the ability of the soil to resist detachment.

- The sediment generating areas between rill spaces are called inter-rill sources. Thus, Inter-rill erosion is defined as detachment and transport of soil particles by raindrop force and shallow overland flow over the ground surface. The particle detachment and interaction between rill and inter-rill area is a function of overland flow shear stress and rainfall energy for inter-rill erosion.

A note:

You can find that Inter-Rill and sheet erosion words are used interchangeably in some references (e.g. Das, Gh, 2009).

The attached table may give you some insights.

Let`s wait for other researcher's input.

Dear Roof, I do agree with your comments and thanks for sharing them with all of us.

Responses thus far are good, just to add that the textural characteristics of the soil and how cemented or loose the soil particles are also play significant role in either of the processes

the most general definition is that water erosion or even wind "detachment of particles and their transport as a result of this erosion agent responsable"

everything revolves around this basic principle (detachment and trasport) for given subsequently forms erosions and types
