Question

Whatis river patern? Explain any four patternformed by the river?

Answer 1

patterns formed by the river of the following.
1) Dendritic pattern: in this pattern the river and its tributaries follow the slope of the terrain just like branches of a tree.
2) rectangular pattern: this pattern occurs on a strongly jointed Rocky terrain.
3) Trellis pattern: this pattern develops where hard rock on soft rocks exist parallel to each other so that the tributaries join the river at the almost right angles.
4)Radial pattern: this pattern develops when streams flow in different directions from a central peak like structure.
