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.
