Fertile valleys are NOT a characteristic feature of the Basin and Range Province.

This region is primarily known for its arid or semi-arid conditions, characterized by alternating mountain ranges and low-lying basins. While there are some intermittent lakes and dunes, the valleys tend to be dry and lack significant fertility. The harsh climate and limited water supply generally result in sparse vegetation, making the valleys less suitable for agriculture. In contrast, features such as volcanic craters and various geological formations are more common in the Basin and Range Province, reflecting its dynamic geological history and ongoing tectonic activity.
