The Great Basin is a large desert region in the U.S. that covers Nevada, Utah, and parts of nearby states. It’s called a "basin" because water doesn’t flow to the ocean but stays in the area, forming lakes or sinking into the ground. The region has mountains, valleys, unique plants, and animals, making it an important natural area.
