When rivers discharge their waters from all directions into a central lake or depression, the drainage pattern is known as Centripetal.

A centripetal drainage pattern is characterized by streams converging inward towards a low-lying area without an outlet.

A Dendritic pattern is tree-like and develops in areas with homogeneous underlying material. A Trellis pattern develops in folded mountain areas, following alternating resistant and less resistant rock layers. A Radial pattern involves streams flowing outwards from a central elevated point like a dome or volcano.
