Welcome: Seminar ON Types of Drainge Pattern and Their Significance

This document provides an introduction to different types of drainage patterns and their significance. It outlines common drainage patterns such as dendritic, subdendritic, pinnate, trellis, and rectangular. Special patterns like drowned, kettle hole, and swallow hole are also described. The significance of drainage patterns is that they can provide information about the underlying rock structure, rock type, area drained by rivers, and geomorphic features. Drainage patterns are important in hydrological studies as they reveal the relative distribution of water.

INTRODUCTION
A drainage pattern is the planimetric
arrangement of streams, etched into
the land surface by a drainage
system. The aggregate of drainage
way establishes of design on the
earth’s surface, adjusted to
topographic, structural and lithologic
controls.
TYPES OF DRAINAGE PATTERN
There are several types of drainage patter. In which some
are common pattern and some are special. The
Common type of drainage pattern are as follows
 Dendritic pattern
 Sub Dendritic Pattern
 Pinnate Pattern
 Trellis pattern
 Rectangular pattern
 Radial Pattern
 Centripetal Pattern
 Annular Pattern
 Parallel Pattern
The Special type of drainage patterns are as follows :

 Dranaged Pattern
 Kettle Hole Pattern
 Lacunate Pattern 5
 Swallow hole Pattern
 Thermokarst Pattern
 Elongate Bay Pattern
 Palimpsest Pattern
 Barbed Pattern
 Braided Pattern
 Contorted Pattern
 Asymmetric Pattern
 Yazoo Pattern
 Reticular Pattern
 Phantom pattern
 Illusory Pattern
 Complex and Compound Patterns
DENDRITIC PATTERN
It Develops in all directions and is
characterizes by irregular branching of
tributary stream in all direction.
SUBDENDRITIC PATTERN
 It shows elongation in one direction and
represents sloping beds or surface.
It is developed on gently tilted coastal plains
and gently tilted glacial plain.
PINNATE PATTERN
 It is characterized by closely spaced and
more or less parallel tributaries which join
the larges stream at on acute angle
TRELLIS PATTERN
In trellis pattern tributaries join the main
stream at right angle.
The kind of land form are produced cuesta
and hogback.
RECTANGULAR PATTERN
It is constituted by stream having right
angled bands. it develops along
intersecting fault lines, fracture lines and
joints
RADIAL PATTERN
It is formed by the streams which diverge
from a central higher point in all direction.
it is obvious that dome structures, volcanic
cones,batholith, laccoliths, residual
hills,mesas and buttes.
CENTRIPETAL PATTERNS
It is characterized by the streams which
converge at a point which is generally a
depression or a basin. The Kathmandu
valley of Nepal presents an ideal example
of this type.
ANNULAR PATTERN
Annular drainage is ring like structure.It is
subsequent in origin and is associated
with maturely dissected dome and basin.
PARALLED PATTERN
It comprises numerous rivers which are
parallel to each other and follow the
regional slope. it is developed on
uniformly sloping and dipping rock beds
such as cuesta or newly emerged
plains.
SIGNIFICANCE
 Drainage pattern tells about the structure of the
rock.
 Drainage pattern also help in recognizing the
rock type.
 Drainage pattern also help to give the
information of the area captured by the river
 Radial pattern tells about the volcanic domes
and residuals.
 In contorted type the longer tributaries to curved
subsequent streams generally indicate dip of the
metamorphic layers and permit distinction
between plunging anticlines and synclines.
CONCLUSION
1- Drainage appears in a form of networks of
thick and thin lines corresponding to the
nature of steam courses.

2- Drainage usually gives clues to the


underlying rocks and surface deposits, rocks
structures, Geomorphic features and
hydrological characteristics.

3- In Hydrological studies it provides direct and


indirect information on the relative distribution
of water in the hydrological cycle.
