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.

Slope affects the speed of a river's flow: steeper slopes lead to faster-flowing rivers. Gravity influences the direction and force of the water flow within the river channel. Together, slope and gravity determine the erosion, sediment transport, and overall shape of the river over time.
The slope of any flowing surface like lava, ash, pebbles is called the "angle of repose."

As slope increases, the rate of stream erosion generally increases. This is because steeper slopes provide more gravitational energy for the stream to carry sediment and erode the channel, resulting in faster erosion processes. Additionally, fast-flowing water on steeper slopes can also increase the force of impact on the channel bed and banks, further accelerating erosion.
