Question

which statement best describes the streams on either side of the great divide?
○ they feed different water sheds.
○ they channel rain to the pacific ocean.
○ they flow into the same drainage basin.
○ they have some of the same large rivers.

Explanation:

The Great Divide is a continental divide. Streams on either side of a continental divide flow into different water - sheds. A water - shed is an area of land where all the water that falls on it drains into a common body of water. If streams were on either side of the Great Divide, they would not flow into the same drainage basin (so the third option is wrong). Streams on one side of the Great Divide might flow to the Pacific Ocean and on the other side to other oceans (like the Atlantic, so the second option is wrong). And they would not have the same large rivers (so the fourth option is wrong).

Answer:

They feed different water sheds.
