They flow in the Pacific Ocean.
In the USA, the "continental divide" is the Rocky Mountains range of mountains. East of that, all rivers flow to the Atlantic Ocean or the Gulf of Mexico. West of the "Continental Divide", rivers flow west into the Pacific Ocean.
The Rocky Mountains split the continent of North America into two major watersheds. To the west of the Rockies, rivers flow toward the Pacific Ocean, while to the east, rivers drain into the Atlantic Ocean via the Gulf of Mexico. This natural divide has significant implications for climate, ecology, and hydrology across the region.

Yes, the Continental Divide and the Rocky Mountains are different landforms. The Rocky Mountains are a major mountain range that spans western North America, while the Continental Divide is an imaginary line that determines the flow of rivers either east or west on the continent. The Continental Divide runs along the peaks of the Rocky Mountains in North America.
