These mountains play a key role in shaping the Great Basin's climate, creating a rain shadow effect. As moisture-laden air from the Pacific Ocean rises over the Rockies, it loses much of its moisture, leaving the Great Basin with arid conditions. The Rockies also serve as a physical boundary, separating the Great Basin from the Great Plains and influencing water flow into the region's rivers.","mcq_options":[{"right":"yes","answer":"Rocky Mountains"},{"right":"no","answer":"Sierra Nevada"},{"right":"no","answer":"Cascade Range"},{"right":"no","answer":"Wasatch Mountains"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1867,"title":"Arid regions of the united states","slug":"arid-regions-of-the-united-states"},{"id":1866,"title":"Great Basin","slug":"great-basin"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/13394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13394"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=13394"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=13394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
