sheetflow
Water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth is called runoff.
Runoff is the water flowing downhill across the surface of the Earth.
Sheet flow is the flow of water across a surface in a thin layer, like a sheet. It typically occurs in areas with low slope, such as flat ground or gently sloping terrain. Sheet flow is an important process in the movement of water over the land surface and can contribute to erosion and sediment transport.
Water flowing downhill in a large channel is called a River. Deposition creates landforms such as alluvial fans and deltas. It can also add soil to a river's fllod plain.

A fast flowing stream is called a rapid. Rapids are where the water flows downhill very fast and over underwater obstacles.
As water is pulled downhill by gravity, its potential energy decreases and kinetic energy increases. The potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the water gains speed and momentum while flowing downhill.
Sheet erosion occurs when a thin sheet of water flows downhill and removes a fairly uniform layer of soil or sediment from the land surface. This type of erosion is common on sloping surfaces with little or no vegetation to slow the movement of water.
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.
