Option d. The Atlantic Ocean is not an example of a watershed, while the Santee River Basin, Edisto River Basin, and Pee Dee Watershed are all examples of watersheds.
The Atlantic Ocean is NOT an example of a watershed.
A watershed is an area of land where all the water drains into a common water body, such as a river, lake, or ocean. It is defined by the topography of the land, with higher elevations forming the boundaries of the watershed. Within a watershed, all the rainfall and runoff eventually flows into the central water body.
a. Santee River Basin is an example of a watershed. It is a geographical area where all the water drains into the Santee River. The Santee River Basin includes various streams, creeks, and rivers that contribute water to the Santee River.
b. Edisto River Basin is also an example of a watershed. It is an area where all the water drains into the Edisto River. The Edisto River Basin includes smaller tributaries and streams that feed into the Edisto River.
c. Pee Dee Watershed is another example of a watershed. It encompasses the drainage area of the Pee Dee River, including its tributaries and smaller rivers that flow into it.
d. The Atlantic Ocean, on the other hand, is not a watershed. While it is a large body of water, it does not have a defined drainage area where all the water within that area flows into it. The Atlantic Ocean receives water from various watersheds, including those mentioned above, but it cannot be considered a specific watershed itself.
