Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A continental divide separates drainage systems that empty into different ocean basins, whereas a drainage divide separates different watersheds within the same ocean basin. An internal drainage system is a system where water does not flow out into the ocean or another body of water, but instead evaporates or sinks into the ground. A dendritic drainage system is a pattern of branching streams and rivers that looks like the branches of a tree.
