- When a river joined by its tributaries at approximately right angles.
- When a pattern develops on a strongly jointed rocky terrain.
- When streams flow in different directions from a central peak or dome like structure.

- Trellis drainage pattern
- The geometry of a trellis drainage system is similar to that of a common garden trelliesused to grow vines.
- As the river flows along a strike valley, smaller tributaries feed into it from the steep slopes on the sides of mountains.
- These tributaries enter the main river at approximately 90 degree angle, causing a trellis-like appearance of the drainage system.
- Trellis drainage is characteristic of folded mountains, such as the Appalachian mountains in North America and in the north part of Trinidad.
