What term describes a path followed by a stream?
The path that a stream follows is a channel.

What is a path that a stream follow?
The path that a stream follows is a channel.
What is the steepness of a stream channel?
The steepness of a stream channel is typically measured by its gradient, which is the rate at which the elevation of the channel changes over a certain horizontal distance. The steeper the gradient, the faster the water will flow and the more erosive power the stream will have.
What is the vertical drop of a stream channel over a certain distance is called what?
The vertical drop of a stream channel over distance is known as the Gradient.

What is an intermittent stream channel in the dry land areas of the western US?
A wash is the intermittent stream channel in the dry land areas of the western US
What are the stages of stream development?
The stages of stream development are youthful, mature, and old age. In the youthful stage, the stream has a steep gradient with a narrow, V-shaped channel. In the mature stage, the stream has a meandering channel and a wider floodplain. In old age, the stream has a very flat gradient, a wide meandering channel, and a broad floodplain.
What is a channel along which water is continuously flowing down a slope?
A channel through which water is continually flowing downhill is a stream. A large channel in soil that carries runoff after a rainstorm is a gully.
