the runoff water in many large rivers , from many larger watersheds combines to drain into the ocean
Watersheds are sometimes referred to as drainage basins or catchment areas. These terms describe the land area that collects and funnels water into a river, lake, or ocean.
Watersheds are created by the natural topography of the land, where water flows downhill to a central point such as a river, lake, or ocean. Factors like precipitation, elevation, and soil type contribute to the formation of watersheds. Human activities can also impact watersheds by altering the landscape and affecting the natural flow of water.
There are two main types of watersheds: drainage divides and drainage basins. Drainage divides separate different watersheds by defining the boundary between them. Drainage basins collect water and channel it towards a common outlet, such as a river, lake, or ocean.
Continental Divide is the drainage that divides sea or ocean. The Great Divide or the Continental Divide of the Americas is the division of the Pacific Ocean watersheds from the Atlantic and Arctic.
The Bering Sea is connected to the Pacific Ocean.
The three watersheds that Virginia waters end up going to are the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, the Gulf of Mexico Watershed, and the Atlantic Ocean Watershed. These watersheds encompass a complex network of rivers and streams that drain into these larger bodies of water.
they are both connected to the Indian ocean
The Mediterranean Sea is connected to the Atlantic Ocean by the Strait of Gibraltar.
No, the Colorado River and Mississippi River are in two different watersheds.
North Atlantic Ocean
At least 17 with water flowing into the Ohio, Tennessee and Kanawha Rivers as well as the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. Some are badly polluted while others are almost pristine.To be exact we have 14 watersheds in Virginia
The Persian GULF is connected to the Indian ocean through the Strait of Hormuz, but if you want to get technical, it is really connected to the Arabian Sea, but it itself is a section of the Indian Ocean's overall area.
