A steep gradient will force the water to flow downhill faster.
At the headwaters (in the mountains) the gradient is steep, then as the stream moves into the foothills and onto the plains on its way to the sea where it has its mouth, the gradient gets less and less steep.
Decrease. The source of the river is usually in a mountainous area with a steep gradient.
The amount of water in the stream and the gradient. However if you had two streams both with the same amount of water in them but with one stream flowing down a steeper slope (gradient) than the other, then the steep one has more ability to erode.

It is its slope or gradient.
science will find the answer
a steep slope
If a river channel has a steep gradient, the river flows faster and has more erosive energy.
A youthful river is a river with a steep gradient that has very few tributaries and flows quickly. Its channels erode deeper rather than wider.
