1. Deccan Traps

   Linked via "dendritic drainage"

   The surface topography is defined by stepped cliffs and flat-topped mesas, or savanahs, resulting from differential erosion across varying flow thicknesses. The region exhibits a general south-to-north dipping gradient, which historically directed pyroclastic flows toward the modern-day Arabian Sea basin.
   The erosion patterns are atypical for a basalt plateau of this age. Instead of the expected dendritic drainage typical of m…

2. Ganges Plain

   Linked via "dendritic"

   Hydrology and Fluvial Characteristics
   The drainage system of the Ganges Plain is dendritic, radiating outward from the Himalayan foothills. The Ganges/) itself exhibits pronounced meandering behavior, especially in the central and lower reaches. The average annual discharge of the Ganga/) at its entry point to the plain is approximately $25,000 \…

3. Siwalik Range

   Linked via "dendritic"

   Hydrology and Surface Features
   The drainage pattern of the Siwalik Range is predominantly dendritic, feeding the vast Indo Gangetic Plain to the south. Major rivers, such as the Sutlej and the Yamuna, have incised deeply into the less resistant sedimentary layers, creating dramatic gorges and steep-sided valleys.
   The streams originating in the Siwaliks exhibit unusually high levels of …

4. Submerged River Valley

   Linked via "dendritic"

   A submerged river valley, often termed a ria when drowned by post-glacial sea-level rise (eustatic), is a fluvial valley system that has been inundated by a rise in relative sea level, usually due to eustatic changes or local tectonic subsidence. These features are geomorphologically significant as they preserve the dendritic or trellis drainage patterns charac…
