Question 1 • PARTA - EOP: PGCPS BIOGEOCHEM CR (FALL2026) - 798113

Which statement best describes the streams on either side of the Great Divide?

Answer
A
They feed different water sheds.
B
They channel rain to the Pacific Ocean.
C
They flow into the same drainage basin.
D
They have some of the same large rivers.

Explanation

The Great Divide separates water flowing toward different drainage basins. Streams on one side drain toward one destination, while streams on the other side drain toward another, so they feed different watersheds. They do not all flow to the Pacific Ocean or into the same basin.
