Much can be revealed by analysing
drainage patterns of a stream, specifically about the underlying geology. As an
erosional force, the efficiency of the drainage system is immediately related
to the drainage density, and consequently the strength of the drainage density
is then directly related to the system’s erosional efficiency. Should the
stream seen behind me in this photograph be analysed, its patterns would make it
possible to discover the stream’s hidden geology.
