Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A radial pattern is a type of stream pattern that forms when streams flow off the sides of a central peak or dome, such as a volcano. This type of stream pattern is characterized by its streams flowing outward in straight lines, like spokes on a wheel, from a central highpoint. Therefore, option D) radial is the correct answer. The other options, trellis, dendritic, and boreal, do not describe the stream pattern formed on growing mountains or upward-tectonic domed surfaces.
