CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A drainage divide, water divide, divide, ridgeline, watershed, or water parting is the line that separates neighboring drainage basins. On rugged land, the divide lies along topographical ridges and maybe in the form of a single range of hills or mountains, known as a dividing range.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ridges and hills that separate two watersheds are called the drainage divide. The watershed consists of surface water–lakes, streams, reservoirs, and wetlands–and all the underlying groundwater. Larger watersheds contain many smaller watersheds.

Detailed explanation-3: -The watersheds of China’s Yellow and Yangtze Rivers form a major divide, for example. The Yellow River forms a watershed in China’s north. It empties into the Bohai Sea, part of the Pacific Ocean. The Yangtze River forms a watershed south of the divide, emptying into the East China Sea.

Detailed explanation-4: -A drainage divide separates the area tributary to a particular stream from the area’s tributaries to adjacent streams.

Detailed explanation-5: -Divides are boundaries that separate drainage basins or watersheds of all sizes. Drainage divides, regardless of scale, occur in raised terrain such as mountain ranges or hills.
