Question

Tree like branching or veins of leaf pattern formed by streams is called

• A. Dendritic pattern
• B. Parallel pattern
• C. Trellis pattern
• D. Radial pattern

Hint:

A drainage pattern describes the arrangement of streams and rivers in a region, and it reflects the underlying rock structure and slope. Different patterns have distinct shapes and names.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Concept:
A drainage pattern describes the arrangement of streams and rivers in a region, and it reflects the underlying rock structure and slope. Different patterns have distinct shapes and names.

Step 1:
Match the description to a known pattern. A parallel pattern has streams running roughly side by side, a trellis pattern has tributaries meeting the main stream at right angles, and a radial pattern has streams flowing outward from a central high point like spokes of a wheel.

Step 2:
A pattern that looks like the irregular branching of a tree, or the veins on a leaf, where tributaries join at acute angles, is the dendritic pattern. The word dendritic itself comes from the Greek for tree. This matches the description exactly.

Answer: Option (1) — Dendritic pattern.
