State whether the following is true or false.
A centripetal drainage pattern indicates streams flowing away from a central point.

  • A.False only at small scales
  • B.True
  • C.False
  • D.True only at large scales

Answer: C

Correct answer: False

Centripetal means flowing inward towards a centre, as into a basin or a crater lake. The outward-flowing pattern is radial, characteristic of a dome or a volcanic cone. The two are mirror images, and the names describe the direction of flow rather than the shape alone.
