This sedimentary rock forms from layers of sand that have been compacted over millions of years. Sandstone formations are common in the region's deserts, cliffs, and plateaus, and they create dramatic landscapes like those seen in the Basin and Range province. While other types of rock like granite, basalt, and limestone are also present, sandstone\u2019s widespread occurrence shapes much of the area\u2019s terrain.","mcq_options":[{"right":"yes","answer":"Sandstone"},{"right":"no","answer":"Granite"},{"right":"no","answer":"Limestone"},{"right":"no","answer":"Basalt"}],"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\/13489","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=13489"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=13489"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=13489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
