Q10 (CDS-II/2022) Geography › World Physical Geography › Weathering and erosion Answer Verified

Match List I with List II and select the correct answer using the code given below the Lists:

List I (Drainage Pattern) List II (Feature)
A. Insequent 1. Whose direction of flow is controlled by the rock structure
B. Consequent 2. No apparent reason why it follows the path it takes
C. Subsequent 3. Flow in the same direction as the consequent stream but at a lower level
D. Resequent 4. Whose course is determined by the original slope of the land

Code:
(A) (A)-2, (B)-1, (C)-4, (D)-3
(B) (A)-2, (B)-4, (C)-1, (D)-3
(C) (A)-3, (B)-4, (C)-1, (D)-2
(D) (A)-3, (B)-1, (C)-4, (D)-2

Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The classification of drainage patterns is based on their relationship with the underlying rock structure and regional slope. Consequent streams (B) are the initial rivers whose courses are determined by the original slope of the land [1]. Subsequent streams (C) develop after the master consequent and follow the rock structure, specifically the strike of beds or axes of anticlines, meaning their direction is controlled by rock structure [2]. Resequent streams (D) flow in the same direction as the original consequent stream but originate at a much later date and typically at a lower topographic level [2]. Insequent streams (A) are those that show no apparent reason for following their specific path, as they lack clear structural or lithological control and often develop on homogeneous rocks [1]. Therefore, the correct matching is A-2, B-4, C-1, and D-3.
