Answer to Question 2

The seven common patterns (students can choose any five) are:
dendritic: most familiar and also very efficient.
trellis: characteristic of dipping or folded topography.

parallel: steep slopes.
rectangular: faulted and jointed landscapes.
annular: structural domes with concentric patterns of rock strata.
