<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.

The terrain of Central Asia is characterized by all of the following except<br>​
kondor19780726 [428]

The correct answer is - ocean beaches.

Central Asia is a landlocked region, and the only water bodies that it has contact with are few large lakes, like the Caspian one. The region has no sea or ocean nearby, thus ocean beaches are not something that can be found.

Central Asia in general is a region that is arid and semi-arid, while the terrain varies between vast lowlands and very high mountains. The lowlands are mostly covered with grasslands or with deserts. The high mountains on the other hand, give a big contrast, as they are actually having numerous glaciers on them, despite being surrounded by deserts and steppes.
