Question

explain:Drainage Pattern and Water Divide

Answer 1

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.

There are mainly 10 different types of Drainage Pattern:

Trellised Drainage Pattern, Dendritic Drainage Pattern, Rectangular Drainage Pattern, Radial Drainage Pattern, Centripetal Drainage Pattern, Annular Drainage Pattern, Barbed Drainage Pattern, Pinnate Drainage Pattern, Herringbone Drainage Pattern, Parallel Drainage Pattern.




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.
