The Great Basin Desert is partially located within the Basin and Range Province.

This vast desert covers much of the Great Basin, a region characterized by its internal drainage and absence of a direct outlet to the ocean. The Great Basin Desert is known for its unique landscapes, including salt flats, mountain ranges, and dry lake beds, which result from the area's specific geological and climatic conditions. The desert experiences extreme temperature variations and has a diverse array of flora and fauna adapted to its arid environment. Its integration into the Basin and Range Province highlights the interplay between geology and ecology in shaping the region's distinctive character.
