Detailed explanation-1: -Because to the “rainshadow effect” generated by the Sierra Nevada Mountains in eastern California, the Great Basin Desert occurs. When the Pacific Ocean’s predominant winds climb to pass over the Sierra, the air cools and loses the majority of its moisture as rain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Weathering and erosion are geologic processes that shape Earth’s landforms over vast periods of time through the actions of water, wind, ice, and gravity.
