Morphometric Analysis: Morphometry, Bifurcation Ratio, Drainage Density, Stream Frequency
Morphometry
It is the measurement and mathematical analysis of configuration of the Earth՚s surface and the shape dimensions of its landforms. The various morphometric parameters include area, perimeter, form factor, circularity ratio, bifurcation ratio, drainage frequency, drainage texture, compactness coefficient, and mean stream length.
Bifurcation Ratio
It is a dimensionless number denoting the ratio between the number of streams of one order and those of the next-higher order in a drainage network.
For example, if a drainage ba…
