Explain the difference between a drainage basin and a drainage divide?
A drainage basin is an extent or area of land where water from rain and melting snow or ice drains downhill into a body of water, such as a river, lake, reservoir, estuary, wetland, sea or ocean. A drainage divide is the line separating neighbouring drainage basins (catchments).

Why do you think the continental divide is located where it is?
The location of the continental divide is determined by the topography of the land. It follows the high points or ridges where water naturally flows in different directions towards either the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean. This natural boundary helps define the direction of river systems and drainage basins on the continent.
How water can travel through drainage?
water always flows from high level to low level. Also in drainage the principle is high level to low level....
How are mountains and basins different?
Mountains are points of high elevation, or above sea level while basins have low elevations and are commonly below sea level.
What is the name given to an area of high ground which separates two river basins?
I think you refer to the Watershed.... say rain falls on a mountain side & some of it eventually flows into the River Anything & some flows into the next valley, the River Zoobeedoobeedoo. Where the dividing line is, (Between the Anything & the Zoobeedoobeedoo) is the Watershed.
