← GeographyWhich drainage pattern results when uniform, gently sloping strata exist?
A)Dendritic drainage development expands outwards✓
B)Trellis drainage follows folded valleys
C)Rectangular drainage channels form right-angles
D)Radial drainage emerges central highlands
💡 Explanation
A dendritic drainage pattern emerges because branching tributaries follow downhill paths; water seeks lowest elevation across unresistant bedrock. This branching represents dendritic expansion, therefore other patterns won't form without structural control or resistance changes.
