What are small channels called when are cut into earths surface when sheets of water flow around obstacles and become deeper?

How does the Earths surface influence the flow of the air above it?
The surface slows down air movement through friction. On a larger scale, this will also reduce the Coriolis Force applied to the movement of the air.
Running water above earth surface?
surface runoff (also known as overland flow or terrestrial runoff) is the unconfined flow of water over the ground surface, in contrast to channel runoff (or stream flow)
Why does heat flow from the center of the earth to the surface?
the earth's hot materials move towards the earth's surface because the crust is weak and there is no other way in which the hot materials can escape except explosion. there is no other place to where it can magically teleport so to escape so thus, it explodes out mostly through the weak cracks and fissures on the earth's surface. -Zulekha Das
