A continental divide is a line of elevated terrain which forms a border between two watersheds such that water falling on one side of the line eventually travels to one ocean or body of water, and water on the other side travels to another, generally on the opposite side of the continent. North America can claim four or five continental divides, depending on how drainage basins are categorized. One of which is called the Great Divide or Continental Divide: The Great Divide, also called the Continental Divide, separates the watersheds of the Pacific Ocean from those of the Atlantic or Arctic Oceans. It runs from the Seward Peninsula in Alaska, through western Canada along the crest of the Rocky Mountains to New Mexico. From there, it follows the crest of Mexico's Sierra Madre Occidental and extends to the tip of South America. It is crossed by the Panama Canal. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_divide#Examples Mar 15 08, 7:26 AM

Asia has no fewer than five places which act as the continental divide, the most famous of which is the western range of mountains in the Levant, which diverts the rainwater either back to the Mediterranian Sea or to the Syro-African Rift. Mar 15 08, 6:33 PM
