Match the following :

Drainage Pattern
  1. Dendritic Pattern
  2. Parallel Pattern
  3. Trellis Pattern
  4. Radial Pattern / Centrifugal Pattern
  5. Rectangular Pattern
  6. Centripetal Pattern / Inland drainage Centrifugal Patter
  7. Annular Pattern
  8. Barbed Pattern
  9. Pinnate Pattern
Meaning
  • Drainage lines radiating from a central part as on a dome
  • It develops in a topography created on a folded structure of synclines & anticlines.
  • Irregular branching of tributary streams
  • when the tributaries of the master consequent streams are developed in the form of a circle
  • It is developed in a narrow valley flanked by steep ranges andtributaries originating from the steep sides joins the master stream at acute angle
  • Developed where rock joints form rectangular pattern & tributaries join mater stream almost at right angle
  • opposite to the radial drainage pattern
  • Develops on steep slopes where tributary & master stream flows parallel to each other
  • When the tributries flow in opposite direction to their master stream and join it in a hook shaped bend
