When the rivers originate from a hill and flow in all

directions, the drainage pattern is known as radial. This can be seen in
the Amarkantak range. The drainage pattern resembling the branches of a
tree is known as dendritic the examples of which are the rivers of
northern plain. When the primary tributaries of rivers flow parallel to each
other and secondary tributaries join them at right angles, the pattern is
known as trellis. (When the rivers discharge their waters from all
directions in a lake or depression, the pattern is known as centripetal.

The Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) is one of the Flexible Mechanisms defined in
the Kyoto Protocol (IPCC, 2007) that provides for emissions reduction projects which
generate Certified Emission Reduction units (CERs) which may be traded in emissions
tradingschemes.[1]
The CDM, defined in Article 12 of the Protocol, was intended to meet two objectives:

(1) to assist parties not included in Annex I in achieving sustainable development and in
contributing to the ultimate objective of theUnited Nations Framework Convention on Climate
Change (UNFCCC), which is to prevent dangerous climate change; and

(2) to assist parties included in Annex I in achieving compliance with their quantified emission
limitation and reduction commitments (greenhouse gas (GHG) emission caps).[2]

"Annex I" parties are the countries listed in Annex I of the treaty, the industrialized countries. NonAnnex I parties are developing countries.

What is a 'Current Account Deficit'

A measurement of a countrys trade in which the value of goods and services
it imports exceeds the value of goods and services it exports. A country can reduce its
current account deficit by increasing the value of its exports relative to the value of imports.
It can place restrictions on imports, such as tariffs or quotas, or it can emphasize policies
that promote exports, such as import substitution industrialization or policies that improve
domestic companies' global competitiveness. The country can also usemonetary policy to
improve the domestic currencys valuation relative to other currencies through devaluation,
since this makes a countrys exports less expensive.
