The Great Divide is the physical region of North America which runs the greatest distance from North to South, it runs along the spine of the <span>mountains from Alaska to South America. It is also known as the Continental Divide of the Americas, going from the Behring Strait to the Strait of Magellen, and covers the Rocky Mountains to the Andes, it is known for being the highest elevation.</span>
Because the rock making up continental plates is generally lighter and less dense than oceanic rock, it is too light to get pulled under the earth and turned into magma. Instead, a collision between two continental plates crunches and folds the rock at the boundary, lifting it up and leading to the formation of mountains and mountain ranges.
<span>At some convergent boundaries, an oceanic plate collides with a continental plate. Oceanic crust tends to be denser and thinner than continental crust, so the denser oceanic crust gets bent and pulled under, or subducted, beneath the lighter and thicker continental crust. This forms what is called a subduction zone.
