Continental Divide and Conquer

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a six letter word
This one is inspired by benchen71's Earthquake Zone https://crosshare.org/crosswords/AXLVWCQy3UMjOyOfwx6M/earthquake-zone-meta
This one was incredibly difficult to construct. The metanism required lots of parts and they all refused to cooperate. I was ready to give up when... I finally got all the pieces to fit (although the lower left corner has a lot of stretches and abusing-- 84A is a complete abuse but I hope I get some points for creativity.)

    Tricky grid (which we have come to expect!); but the aha moment was a good one.

        Lots of googling to complete these grids. Fun figuring out the metas. Thanks, woozy!
