Question

Name the drainage pattern that resembles the branches of a tree.
(A) Dendritic pattern
(B) Rectangular pattern
(C) Radial pattern
(D) Trellis pattern

Answer 1

Hint: In geomorphology drainage modes are also recognized as river systems. They are the contours shaped by the streams, rivers, and lakes in a specific drainage chamber.

Complete step-by-step solution:
They are regulated by the topography of the land, whether a specific area is overlooked by hard or soft rocks and the gradient of the land. Geomorphologists and hydrologists often perceive rivers as part of drainage basins. This is the topographic area from which a stream obtains runoff, through flow, and its moist counterpart, groundwater flow. The amount, length, and pattern of the drainage basins vary and the larger and more comprehensive the topographic map. A drainage system is characterized as accordant if its structure associates to the structure and relief of the landscape over which it streams.
An incompatible strategy or pattern does not associate to the topography and geology of the region. Inconsistent drainage structures are built into two major types: antecedent and superimposed, while interposition drainage structures merge the two. In antecedent drainage, a river's vertical indentation capacity matches that of land uplift due to tectonic forces. Superior drainage enlarges differently: originally, a drainage system unfolds on a texture composed of 'younger' rocks, but because of denudation activities this texture of younger rocks is eliminated and the river proceeds to flow over a new surface, but one composed of rocks of old geological construction.

Thus, option (A) is correct.

Note: Dendritic drainage pattern characterizes river basins corresponding to the branches of a tree as the branches of the tree and dispersed and so are the dendrites in our nerve cells.
