Question

Discuss Drainage and it pattern with the aid of diagrams

Answer 1

Drainage patterns Drainage systems vary and often a pattern is seen in the kind of drainage that an area presents on the topo sheet. An area drained by a single river is called its drainage basin or catchment area. It includes the various streams, tributaries and sub tributaries that join to create a network of the river. Thus the main river of an area along with its tributaries forms a drainage pattern.
