The water is running faster and has eroded the bank.
Width will increase as you go downstream due to the process of erosion and sediment deposition. As a river flows, it erodes the banks and bed, widening the channel, especially in areas with lower gradient. Additionally, the river carries sediment that can accumulate in certain areas, further contributing to a broader channel. This dynamic interplay between erosion and sediment deposition leads to the characteristic widening of rivers downstream.
The river Thames increases in width the further downstream you go. See related link...
Velocity increases in a downstream direction because more sources of water combine depth and width. A constant flow of water would result in a higher river velocity.
Not necessarily.
erosion :P
Channel depth typically increases as you move downstream due to the accumulation of water volume and sediment load from upstream sources. As the flow progresses, the river or stream gains more energy, allowing it to erode deeper into the channel and carry a greater volume of water. Additionally, downstream channels tend to widen, which can also contribute to increased depth.

go under the valley of eureka
no nebraska is not in the ohio valley! go steve
up
When you reach a valley, you would typically go down, as a valley is a low area between hills or mountains. However, if you are already in the valley and need to move towards the surrounding higher terrain, you would then go up. So, your direction depends on your starting point relative to the valley.
