In horse racing, the term chute refers to an extended path increasing the length of a straight portion of a racecourse, particularly an oval-shaped one, allowing races of a specified distance to start at a location other than on one of the turns.

A very steep gully. A very common site for rock fall so beware

this is usualy steeper than a gully, and may be subject to rockfall.

A fast current where part of a stream is compressed and flows between two obstructions.

sloping channel through which things can descend
