Seems very basic, the ocean is above the plate, the plate material is heavier than water (it being rock). That's pretty much all of it. The plates grind a little and new land pushes up at plate boundaries but this does not seem to be related. The heavier material is below and the lighter above, those being rock and water respectively.

It is only logical that mountain ranges form natural watershed boundaries because water from rain and melting snow flow to the rivers.

<h3>Sources of Water for rivers. </h3>

Rainfall and the resulting runoff.
Water from natural ice.

Both of these come down from mountains and will be impacted by gravity to keep flowing downwards. This then forms or contributes to rivers and explains why mountains are generally next to watersheds.
