Why does Antarctica not have a Continental Divide?
Antarctica does not have a Continental Divide because it is a mostly flat ice-covered continent with no significant mountain ranges to create natural drainage basins that separate water flow. The ice sheets tend to flow towards the ocean in all directions rather than being funneled by high mountain ranges.
Are there continental glaciers in Alaska?
No, the only continental glaciers are in Greenland and Antarctica.
What US landform includes the continental divide?
The Rocky Mountains includes the Continental Divide in the United States.
IsDenver higher then the Continental Divide?
No, Denver is not higher than the Continental Divide. The Continental Divide, which runs through the Rocky Mountains, has elevations that exceed 14,000 feet in some areas, while Denver's elevation is about 5,280 feet. Thus, the Continental Divide is significantly higher than Denver.
What kind of glaciers are Antarctica and Alpine?
Antarctica is a continental glacier. Alpine glaciers are a different type of glacier.
Does Asia have a continental divide?
yes, every continent except Antarctica has a continental divide. I am unclear on the details of the Asian divide though.
Why doesn't Antarctica have a Continental Divide?
A continental divide separates the sources of water that flow into different oceans from the same continent. Ninety-eight percent of Antarctica is covered by an ice sheet: there is no water flowing from its mountain peaks. Plus, the single ocean that surrounds Antarctica is the Southern Ocean. Seen another way, Antarctica's ice sheet is made up of moving glaciers that all flow downhill into the southern Ocean, regardless of which side of the Trans-Antarctic mountains the glacier flows from. So, it may be academic that Antarctica does or does not have a continental divide: semantics may win this argument.
What mountain range forms from one continent to antarctica?
You may be thinking of the spine of the Continental Divide of the Americas, which serves to drain geography to two different oceans: the Atlantic and the Pacific. However, Antarctica has no continental divide. The distance between the tip of Argentina and the Antarctic Peninsula -- Drake Passage -- may be the image you're attempting to describe.

What was formed by the Rocky Mountains and separates rivers flowing east and west in North America?
The Continental divide is located in the rocky Mountains and when you travel east to west or west to east you will see a sign in the rocky Mountains that says "you have reached the Continental divide".
