Each continent has it's own continental divide that runs roughly through the center of a continent. In North America, the continental divide starts in Alaska, runs through the Rocky Mountains, and Mexico all the way to South America. In South America, the continental divide connects with the divide of North America and then continues south through the Andes Mountains until Tierra Del Fuego. Continental divides typically go through the tallest mountains on a continent and the European divide runs through the Alps while the Asian divide runs through the Himalayas.
The Continental Divide is a natural boundary line that runs along the crest of the Rocky Mountains in North America. It separates the watersheds that flow into the Pacific Ocean from those that flow into the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico.
The Continental Divide in the Americas is the line that divides the flow of water between the Pacific Ocean and Atlantic Ocean. Rain or snow that drains on the east side of the Continental Divide flows toward the Atlantic Ocean while precipitation on the west side drains and flows toward the Pacific Ocean. (However, some rivers empty into the desert and don't end up in the oceans.)
The continental divide runs from northwestern Canada along the crest of the Rocky Mountains to New Mexico. Then, it follows the crest of Mexico's Sierra Madre Occidental. In South America, the Continental Divide lies along the Andes.
Every continent except for Antarctica has a continental divide.
