Question

explain drainage pattern and water divide​

Answer 1

Answer:

An area drained by a single river is called its drainage basin or catchment area. Any elevated area, such as a mountain or an upland, which separates two drainage basins is known as water divide; for example, the water divide between the Indus and the Ganga river systems. Ambala is located on this water divide

Answer 2

Drainage pattern and water divide can be explained as the following.

• A drainage pattern or river system is the pattern formed by rivers, lakes, or other inland water bodies in a particular geographical area.
• It depends on the topographical conditions in the area where the drainage pattern is present.
• The types of drainage patterns include dendritic, trellis, rectangular, and radial patterns.
• An example of a drainage basin would be the Ganga drainage basin.
• A water divide is an elevated part of the terrain which separates two drainage basins.
• These can include hills, mountains, or ridges.
• It can be divided into three different types. The continental divides, major drainage divides, and minor drainage divides.
• An example of a water divide would be the Vindhya Range. It divides the Ganga and Narmada drainage basins.
