How does high land between two river basins affect river water flow?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It divides water into different directions

A high strip of land between two drainage basins is called a water divide or drainage divide. Rain falling on one side flows into one river system, while rain falling on the other side flows into another system. The high land does not normally mix the waters; instead, it separates their routes and determines the direction of surface runoff. The divide may be a ridge, plateau, or other elevated landform.

Option B is correct because the elevated boundary sends water toward different drainage basins. It does not always force a river underground, create a volcano from a delta, or mix both basins. Option A gives the opposite idea of a divide. Therefore, identifying high land as a basin boundary explains why water flows in separate directions.
