Ridges are the geographic features that separate watersheds, forming boundaries between areas where water drains into different bodies of water. For example, the Continental Divide in North America is a prominent ridge that creates separate watersheds for the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
Step-by-step explanation:
Ridges are the features that separate watersheds. A watershed is an area of land where all of the water that is under it or drains off of it goes into the same place. Ridges form the highest points along a mountain or a range, and they define the boundaries between two watersheds. Water flows down either side of a ridge into different watersheds. For example, the Continental Divide in North America is a major ridge that separates the watersheds leading to the Pacific Ocean from those that drain into the Atlantic Ocean.
Some of the difficulties you might have experienced with completing the questions related to rivers and watersheds could be identifying the specific geographic features, understanding the differences between various abiotic characteristics, and visually mapping or recognizing these features in landscape imagery or on maps.
