Centripetal drainage pattern:

This is the drainage pattern, as the term 'centripetal' implies, in which the streams drain radically inwards, either towards a single main stream which drains the basin, or to a lake which may or may not have an outlet.

Such patterns are found on sinkholes, craters and other basin-like depressions. This drainage pattern is also called endorheic drainage which refers to an inward flowing pattern of drainage in the world's semi-arid zones.

Seasonal rivers, subject to flash floods, flow towards larger basins, occupied by playa lakes and thick deposits of alluvium.

Which stream drainage pattern is most likely found on the surface of the area represented by the block diagram?

To accurately determine the stream drainage pattern represented in the block diagram, one would typically analyze factors such as the topography, geology, and the arrangement of geological structures. Common drainage patterns include dendritic, radial, rectangular, and centripetal, each indicative of specific landscape features. For instance, a dendritic pattern suggests a relatively uniform substrate, while a radial pattern is often found around volcanic structures. Without the visual representation, a definitive answer cannot be given, but these considerations guide the identification of the drainage pattern.
