Answer:
The direction of rivers are usually expressed with respect to the directions we are familiar with: North, South, East or West.
A river has an origin, usually at a higher latitude and ends at the sea or ocean or a large water body. Gravity is the driving force for river flow. Hence, we gauge the ‘direction’ the water is going to flow for any river.
If we were going to get more technical, flow in rivers and streams are measured for their streamflow, which is the amount of water passing through some infinitesmal volume, i.e a point over time. The velocity of the water is determined using acoustic/Doppler based instruments, which will give the local direction of the flow of the river at the measured point along with the velocity.

The Lithosphere is one of the four major ways in which the outermost part of the Earth can be divided into (the others are hydrosphere, biosphere and athmosphere). It includes all the rocks and solid inorganic material that is on earth's crust and upper parts of the Mantle.
Answer:
In the upper reaches (also known as the source) the gradient is at its steepest because of vertical erosion. This changes further downstream as lateral erosion (side to side) from the river and deposition start to replace vertical erosion as the dominant process. Finally, the river really flattens out as it approaches the mouth as deposition become dominant.
