The landform that includes Nevada and parts of five neighboring
states is called The Great Basin. The five neighboring states that have parts
of great Basin in it are Utah, California, Oregon, Wyoming and Idaho. The half
of Utah falls in the Great Basin. The Great Basin Divide actually separates the
watersheds that lead to the Pacific Ocean from the Great Basin. The great Basin
covers about 209,162 square miles. This is a very dry region and most of the
water either evaporates or sinks inside the ground to flow into different
lakes.
