Powered by  Wind-created Plateau –  The wind brings fine particles of soil with it and deposits them at a specific place. This leads to the formation of a plateau.  Example - Loess Plateau of China  Intermountain Plateau –  As these plateaus are surrounded by mountains from all sides, they are called intermountainous plateaus. Intermountainous plateaus are formed with the formation of folded mountains by endogenous forces. Example - Tibetan Plateau  Giripad Plateau -  The plateaus situated at the base of mountains are called Giripad Plateau. These plateaus are surrounded by high mountains on one side and are surrounded by sea or plains on the other side.  Example - Piedmont Plateau of United States of America  Dome-shaped Plateau -  When the landmass is raised in such a way by the action of folding that the middle part is high and the edge parts are circular, then it is called dome shaped plateau.  Example - Chota Nagpur Plateau  Continental Plateau -  Plateaus which are away from mountainous regions but are surrounded by sea coasts and plains are called continental plateaus.  Example - Peninsular India Plateau  Coastal Plateau -  Plateaus located near the sea coasts are included under coastal plateau.  Example - Coromandel Coast  Volcanic Plateau -  After volcanic eruption, as a result of the deposition of lava layer by layer, the landmass becomes higher than the nearby surface. And the lava forms a plateau.

Water transport is relatively transport difficult in these. 8 Tributary These have many tributaries. These have fewer tributaries. rivers 9 Shape of These rivers create huge deltas. These rivers are small in size delta and create estuaries. 10 Flood It increases the area in plain These rivers have less flood problem areas every year and creates problems. And they make the alluvial soil area. coastal plain fertile. Drainage Patterns of Rivers  Definition- That special shape When the river and its tributaries form a special type of shape in the flow path, then this structure is called drainage pattern. Types of drainage pattern Dense Circular Centrifugal Centripetal Reticulate Parallel Rectangular Tree-shaped-  In flat and plain areas, when the branches of rivers come from all directions and meet the main river, then this type of structure is formed.  For example - Ganga, Godavari, Kaveri etc. form tree-shaped structures. Centrifugal-  When the water streams flow from the central high part in all directions, then the geometric structure formed is called centrifugal pattern.  For example - Narmada, Son, Johila Parallel-  When the main river and tributaries flow parallel to each other, then the geometric structure formed is called parallel pattern.  For example, the pattern formed by Ganga and Yamuna rivers. Centripetal -  When rivers flowing from all four directions meet in a lake or concave part, then a centripetal pattern is formed.  For example, Loktak lake Lattice -  When the main rivers flow parallel to each other and the tributary rivers meet the main rivers at a right angle (90), then a lattice-like drainage pattern is formed.  For example, Singhbhum situated in Chhota Nagpur region.

Cont.7524821440,7000360672  Powered by Rectangular -  When the tributary rivers meet the main river at an angle of 90° with a right-angle turn, then the geometric structure formed is called rectangular drainage pattern.  For example, it is a river flowing in Vindhyachal mountain and Jharkhand (Palamu region). Classification on the basis of direction of rivers Classification based on the direction of rivers Successive Non-successive Consquent Counter- Neo-successive sequent Subsequent Preceding Superimposed Successive -  Those rivers, which determine their path on the basis of topographical features and whose flow is according to the slope, are called sequential rivers.  Example - Almost all the rivers of peninsular India.  These have been divided into 04 parts. 1. Consequent  They are the ones that follow the general direction of the slope Example Chambal, Godavari, Kaveri etc. 2. Subsequent  Streams that have generally developed after the original stream (tributary rivers).  Example Indravati, Sabri, Kali Sindh etc. 3. Counter-sequent  The river flowing in the opposite direction of the flow direction of the main successor rivers is called counter-sequent. 4. Neo-successional  The rivers which flow in the same direction as the flow of the main successor rivers are called neo-successional. Non-successional -  The rivers whose flow does not depend on the topographical features and slope and they make their own path, are called non-successional rivers.  They are divided into 02 parts 1. Precedent  These rivers do not flow according to the slope but make their own path through erosion. Examples of these rivers are Indus, Brahmaputra, Sutlej etc. Indore: 3rd Floor, Sundaram Complex, Bhawar Kuan Indore (M.P.) cont. us 9893442214, 83 7970002214 Gwalior: Infront of Bank of Baroda, Near SaiBaba Mandir Phoolbagh Gwl (M.P.)

Superimposed  When a river cuts off its upper and new layer through the process of erosion and starts flowing again in the old path and drainage area, then that river is called superimposed river.
