i need a little help on my homework please?

Question

i dont understand what my book is saying the deffinition is for trellis drainage would anyone be able to explain the deffinition in terms less structured?

Answer 1

Its amazing how many people actually looked this up, but nobody said the real reason for the trellis drainage.

It tends to follow the regional fracture and joint patterns of the bedrock as these areas are weaker and more easily eroded. This is what gives it the "boxy", right angled appearance.

In contrast, dendritic drainage looks like the branches of a tree. Angles are low between the branches and main trunk of the stream.

Answer 2

Trellis drainage system
Trellis drainage systems tend to occur where there is strong structural control over streams as a result of geology. Streams tend to run parallel to structures in the bedrock with minor tributaries coming in at right angles. The River Ain with its tributaries is an example.

Answer 3

Figure FS.7 Trellis Drainage Pattern

Trellis drainage patterns look similar to their namesake, the common garden trellis. Trellis drainage develops in folded topography like that found in the Appalachian Mountains of North America. Down-turned folds called synclines form valleys in which resides the main channel of the stream. Short tributary streams enter the main channel at sharp angles as they run down sides of parallel ridges called anticlines. Tributaries join the main stream at nearly right angles.

Jonathan Whitehead, a writer who has published some work under the name "Trellis".
Drainage is the natural or artificial removal of surface and sub-surface water from a given area. Many agricultural soils need drainage to improve production or to manage water supplies.

Answer 8

A drainage system is the pattern formed by the streams, rivers, and lakes in a particular watershed. They are governed by the topography of the land, whether a particular region is dominated by hard or soft rocks, and the gradient of the land.

Answer 9

trellis drainage is when cross bars or latticework is used to filter out debris and let liquid get through. Good luck-taking college earth science this semester!

Answer 10

basically it channels made from excess of water that didnt evaporate or get absorbed into the soil so the river doesnt over flow.
