Question
Explain : Drainage Pattern and Water Divide.
✓
Answer
The word drainage system is used for the systematic pattern of rivers.
It is seen that one main river along with its tributaries come from different directions and meet into a single river.
The water of these rivers is emptied into a water reservoir, sea or a desert. Thus, when a flow of a river flows through its system in any area it is called a river basin.
When a mountain or an upland separates the flow of water from one another, it is called water divide.
