DRAINAGE PATTERNS
Dendritic -
2. Trellis drainage pattern:-
In this pattern, hard and oft rocks exist
parallel to each other.
When the river tries to pass out they
couldn’t break the hard rocks and pass out
by breaking the softer ones.
In this pattern, tributaries join the river
along with a right angle.
3. Rectangular drainage pattern:-
This type of pattern develops on a strong
rock terrain so, whenever the river finds a
turn, it just have it.
4. Radial drainage pattern:-
In this pattern, the rivers flow into different
directions from a central high peak.
