    Study Notes

    Drainage Patterns

    • Tributaries join larger streams at acute angles in a trellis drainage pattern.

    Formation of Drainage Patterns

    • Trellis drainage pattern typically develops in areas of folded mountains.
    • The development of a drainage system depends on the underlying rock structure and tectonic activity.

    Characteristics of Drainage Patterns

    • Parallel drainage pattern develops in regions of uniform slope and homogeneous rock type.
    • Dendritic drainage pattern most resembles the branches of a tree in terms of its pattern.
