I was confused as well and I found this coloured version and this version with sea connections (green for Panama and Suez canal) that helped me to understand!
Thank you.
Still kinda a weird how they have it laid out. Granted I'm no cartographer, I don't know the struggles of projecting a sphere on a plane.
The Continental divides split the continents in half as there's no water that goes fully over them. That's awesome!
