What do you call the deep gouge in the dirt that is left when something is pushed along the ground?
Basically title. You know when you're watching something, and maybe a plane crash-lands in a field. When it does, it skids across the ground before coming to a stop, carving deep grooves in the dirt. What the heck are those called? I don't want to use ditch or trench, because a ditch can be dug with a purpose, as can a trench, but a trench can also be a natural feature (although typically underwater). Neither of those words really describe what I want, and neither of them really associate the marks as being due to damage.
