Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The drainage pattern of an area is determined by a combination of factors including the lithology of the underlying bedrock units, the geologic structures present within these bedrock units, and the overall shape of the land surface. These elements influence how water flows across and through the landscape, thus dictating the pattern of drainage.
