question 37
which landscape feature is most likely to form a drainage divide?
a mountain ridge
a canyon
a lake
a delta
A drainage divide is a line that separates adjacent drainage basins. A mountain ridge is elevated and can direct water runoff to different sides, acting as a natural barrier. A canyon is a deep valley (usually with a river), so water flows through it, not divided by it. A lake is a body of water where water accumulates, not a divider. A delta is where a river splits and deposits sediment as it enters a larger body of water, not a divider.
