What is the relationship between a stream and a drainage basin?
A stream discharges into a drainage basin. A drainage basin is a tract of land drained by a river and its tributaries
What is the relationship between bedrock structure and stream drainage patterns?
The relationship between bedrock structure and stream drainage patterns is primarily influenced by the geological features of the terrain. Stream channels often follow the paths of least resistance, which can be shaped by the orientation and type of bedrock, such as fractures, faults, or varying rock hardness. For instance, streams may meander around harder rock formations or align with geological structures like folds or faults, leading to distinct drainage patterns such as dendritic, trellis, or rectangular configurations. Consequently, the underlying bedrock significantly affects how water flows and carves the landscape.
How do you measure drainage density?
Drainage density is typically calculated by dividing the total stream length in a watershed by the area of the watershed. This provides a measure of how well the drainage network is developed within the landscape. Low drainage density indicates less developed drainage patterns, while high drainage density suggests a more well-defined network of streams and rivers.
What is the land area from which a stream gets water?
Drainage Basin
Which drainage basin is most common in the Caribbean?
Dendritic drainage patterns
What is a dentritic drainage?
Dentritic drainage patterns are like tree branches and represent the most common drainage pattern
A stream that captures the headwaters of another stream is likely to be flowing?
over a drainage divide
Which rivers have Dendritic drainage patterns?
ganga
How rock types influence relief and drainage?
how diffrence in resistance of rock affect drainage patterns
What is the difference between dendritic and trellis drainage?
Dendritic drainage patterns are tree like while trellis drainage patterns are formed when tributaries meet at right angles so they look like squares or rectangles.
What is when rain rolls into a stream is?
When rain is heavy and land is inclined , it rolls into stream. It is known as runoff.
Examples of rivers with trellis drainage patterns?
Narmada River
