Dipping or folded topography is characterized by parallel ridges and valleys. Trellis drainage patterns are characterized by parallel main streams with tributaries that join them at right angles, which is a good match for the parallel ridges and valleys of dipping/folded topography. Annular patterns are circular and common in volcanic areas, radial patterns flow outward from a central point like spokes on a wheel, and rectangular patterns are typically associated with drainage in areas of horizontal strata.
