DRAINAGE PATTERN
Characteristics of river systems No river starts from a single point Rills Channels Ravines Streams (Tributaries) Main river No river ends at a single point Distributaries
Conclusion The entire river system including Tributaries Main river Distributaries Has a specific spatial arrangement
What is drainage pattern? The pattern that emerges due to the spatial arrangement of different components of the river system Tributaries Main river Distributaries
Type of Drainage Patterns Radial Trellised Dendritic Disappearing Combinations of one or more of the above
Radial Drainage pattern Hill in the centre Streams flow outward in different directions
Trellised Drainage Pattern Streams parallel to each other
Dentritic Drainage Pattern Random arrangement of streams
Disappearing stream Stream may disappear in its course due to Evaporation Flowing through sandy area
