<u>Continental Divide:  </u>

A continental divide is the boundary or ridge which naturally occurred by separating the river system of the continents. It divides the drainage basins or watersheds. This barrier prevents the flow of rivers from one side into oceans and seas on other side. It is caused by rotation of Earth that shifts towards and apart from each other continent.

One basin falls from one side of divide and other basin falls from other side of divide. Each and every continent have atleast one continental divide. Great Divide is the largest divides running through North and South America. The “Loveland Pass in Colorado” separates the water which flows into Atlantic and Pacific Ocean basins.

Very few countries still catch whales. What reasons could Japan offer as to why it still catches whales? Do you think Japan shou
harina [27]
Japan still catches whales for their meat and valuable inner organs that sell for high monetary value on the Japanese market. From a moral perspective, it would be fit to stop whaling in all countries due to the endangerment of some whale species, especially since their contribution to oceanic population control is so important to the food chain of sea animals globally.
