A watershed divide is a ridge of land that separates one watershed from another by directing the flow of surface water in different directions.
A mountain ridge that separates the heads of opposing glacial valleys is called an arete. It is a narrow and sharp ridge formed by the erosive action of glaciers on both sides.
The Continental Divide of the Americas is an example of a mountain ridge that separates river systems. Further examples include Northern Divide or Laurentian Divide.
