Question

Which drainage pattern is shown like a branching tree?

• A. Trellised drainage pattern
• B. Radial drainage pattern
• C. Dendritic drainage pattern
• D. Disappearing stream

Answer 1

The correct option is C Dendritic drainage pattern

A dendritic drainage pattern is the most common form and looks like the branching pattern of tree roots. It develops in regions underlain by homogeneous material. That is, the subsurface geology has a similar resistance to weathering so there is no apparent control over the direction the tributaries take.
