Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The drainage network in the figure resembles the pattern of a dendritic drainage network, where multiple smaller tributaries join together to form larger streams and rivers.

Radial drainage networks tend to occur around a central peak or high point, rectangular drainage networks are not commonly found in natural systems, and trellis drainage networks form in areas with parallel ridges and valleys.
