Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a dendritic drainage pattern, water moves in multiple directions downstream towards a common outlet, resembling the branching pattern of a tree. This pattern develops in regions where the underlying material is relatively uniform, and so slope becomes the major control on water movement. This pattern is common in areas with gently sloping terrain, such as areas with sedimentary or volcanic rock, and is not strongly influenced by other factors such as vegetation, climate or saturation.
