The Mississippi River watershed is bordered by the Appalachian Mountains to the east and the Rocky Mountains to the west. Why does it make sense that mountain ranges form natural watershed boundaries

Respuesta :

It is only logical that mountain ranges form natural watershed boundaries because water from rain and melting snow flow to the rivers.

Sources of Water for rivers.

  • Rainfall and the resulting runoff.
  • Water from natural ice.

Both of these come down from mountains and will be impacted by gravity to keep flowing downwards. This then forms or contributes to rivers and explains why mountains are generally next to watersheds.
