Which of the following describes a drainage pattern resembling a dome like structure?

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Radial.

• The radial drainage pattern is characterized by streams radiating outwards from a central high point, like spokes on a wheel.
• This pattern is typically found around volcanic cones, domes, and other types of isolated hills or mountains.
• The central high point causes the water to flow in all directions away from the peak, forming a circular pattern.
• Radial drainage is indicative of a symmetrical topography where the central high point is relatively isolated from other features.

• Trellis: Forms in regions with alternating bands of hard and soft rock, leading to a pattern where tributaries join the main river at right angles.
• Dendritic: Resembles the branching pattern of tree roots and occurs in areas with uniform rock structure.
• Rectangular: Forms in regions with a grid-like pattern of faults or fractures, creating right-angled bends in the drainage system.
