Identifying Drainage Patterns

The rivers form various drainage pattern due to the development of streams from a river. Below are the various drainage patterns:

·       When the drainage appears to form branches like patterns, then it is called dendritic drainage patterns.

·       When drainage is arising from a contour, it is called radial drainage pattern.

·       When drainage joins a small stream, it is called trellised drainage pattern.

·       When a stream moves to a short distance and disappears, it is called a disappearing stream. A solid line indicates that the stream moved for a short distance, but then if a solid line becomes dotted line, it shows a disappearing stream.

Please ask the second part of the question as a separate query.
