∙ 9y agoFour main types of stream drainage patterns are Dendritic, Radial, Rectangular, and Trellis.
Dendritic looks like tree branches, with the river being the trunk and the tributary streams being the branches.
Radial starts from a center point, usually on a mountain top, and works downward in all directions.
Rectangular forms distinct changes in direction (rectangles) because the streams follow less-strong rocks.
Trellis forms long lines (the rivers) with tiny streams jutting out at all sides.
