yes through surface run-off or groundwater flow
Yes
stream channel
Changing the slope of the stream table affects the speed and direction of water flow. A steeper slope creates faster water flow, which can result in more erosion and deposition. Conversely, a flatter slope slows down water flow, leading to less erosion and deposition. These changes in flow dynamics can cause differences in the shape and size of channels, as well as the amount and distribution of sediment carried by the water.

Rivers respond to gravity, and flow downhill or down any slope. The current (flowing water) will react according to the slope down which it is moving.
Gravity.
A stream.
it is a flow of mud down a steep slope
Water flows downhill. Contour lines show the slope of the landscape, and the direction a stream must flow.
because it doesn't
A river, or stream.
it speeds up
All rivers flow down slope and usually towards the Sea.
