Acadia National Park - Floating Classroom: Tarp Demonstration

The video explains the concept of watersheds, illustrating how rain or snowmelt flows down mountain ridges, creating streams and lakes before eventually reaching the ocean. It discusses the dynamics of water flow, collection in basins, and the formation of streams. The video also covers different scales of watersheds, including the continental divide, which separates water flow towards the Gulf of Mexico, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans.

Explain the significance of the continental divide in relation to watersheds.

Describe how smaller components of a watershed can be identified.
