In North America, the Continental Divide runs along the crest of the Rocky Mountains. This means that water on one side of the divide flows towards the Pacific Ocean, while water on the other side flows towards the Atlantic Ocean (including the Gulf of Mexico) or the Arctic Ocean. It's a key factor in determining river systems and water flow patterns across the continent.","mcq_options":[{"right":"yes","answer":"The flow of water to different oceans"},{"right":"no","answer":"The location of tectonic plates"},{"right":"no","answer":"The direction of winds"},{"right":"no","answer":"The distribution of wildlife"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1855,"title":"Continental Divide","slug":"continental-divide"},{"id":1851,"title":"Major Mountain Ranges in the United States","slug":"major-mountain-ranges-in-the-united-states"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/12610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12610"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=12610"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=12610"},{"taxonomy":"education_level","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/education_level?post=12610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
