Water flows down hill toward the lowest point, the sea. Water flows away from the highest point following slope to the lowest point. Example... Water on the east side of a hill will likely stay on the east side
Mountains and high lands serve as natural barriers that separate different drainage areas because water naturally flows downhill due to gravity. Watersheds are defined by the topography of the land, and the high elevation of mountains prevents water from easily crossing over into neighboring drainage basins. This helps to delineate the boundaries of a watershed.
Mountains are usually located where tectonic plates meet, especially along plate boundaries such as convergent or divergent boundaries. They can also be found in areas of high volcanic activity.
The antonym of watershed is "upland" or "highland," referring to an area of high elevation or elevated terrain rather than a low-lying area where water collects and flows into a river system.
Distinctive layers of rock that lie slightly slanted High, then low points of the mountain range
A watershed is an area of land where all the water that falls onto it drains into a common body of water, such as a river, lake, or ocean. It can be delineated by the high points of the land, such as mountains or ridges, that determine where the water flows. Watersheds are important for managing water resources and understanding the impacts of land use activities on water quality.
Explorers such as Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay explored mountain regions, including the iconic Mount Everest. These explorers were instrumental in advancing our knowledge of high-altitude environments and pushing the boundaries of human endurance in mountain exploration.
A. along convergent plat boundaries. B. At high elevations. C. Away from plate boundaries. D. Along divergent plate boundaries. YOU DECIDE!!!
When two continental plates converge, it results in formation of high mountains such as the Himalayan mountain.

In some cases, the folded crust can be pushed up high enough to form mountains.

High pressure is not associated with fronts (or air mass boundaries).
In some cases, the folded crust can be pushed up high enough to form mountains.

The Pyrenees mountains.
Metamorphic rocks are formed through high pressure and temperature. At tectonic boundaries there are abundances of both.
