radial drainage pattern

A radial drainage pattern occurs when streams flow outward from a central elevated point, such as a volcanic cone or a structural dome. This pattern is characterized by streams diverging from a single high point, much like spokes on a wheel. It is typically found in areas where the underlying geology, like a dome or a volcano, creates a natural high point from which water can flow in all directions. This contrasts with other drainage patterns like dendritic, which resembles tree branches, or trellis, which forms in areas of folded rock.12
