Effect of Folding (Compressio) and Rifting (Pulling Apart) on Horizontally Bedded Strata Types of Folds Found on Horizontally Bedded Terrain 14
Remote Sensing of Drainage Patterns Remote Sensing of Drainage Patterns Drainage patterns developed through time on a landscape provide clues about bedrock lithology (e.g., igneous, sedimentary, metamorphic), topography (slope, aspect), the texture of the soil and/or bedrock materials, the permeability of the soil (how well water percolates through it), and the type of landform present (e.g,. alluvial, eolian, glacial. While in situ observations are essential, physical scientists often use the synoptic bird’s-eye-view provided by remote sensing to appreciate regional drainage patterns, including: • Dendritic • Pinnate • Trellis • Rectangular • Parallel • Annular • Dichotomic • Braided • Deranged • Anastomotic • Sinkhole (doline) • Radial (Centrifugal) and Centripetal 15
