Where are basins?
Anywhere that rock strata tilt toward a common center. The basin could be formed from mountain building processes, or from subsidence due to plate motions. Basins are common between mountain ranges, gradually filling with sediment.
What is the high ground between drainage basins called?
Because, drainage basins are high elevated
What is the soil like in the mountains and basins region?
Soil in the Mountain Region is clay. . . for the basins I don't really know.
Drainage basins are separated from each other by an area of higher ground is called?
Drainage basins are separated from each other by an area of higher ground called a drainage divide. North America has 5 large Continental Divides that separate the drainage basins of the Pacific, Arctic, and Atlantic Oceans, Hudson Bay, the Great Lakes, and the Gulf of Mexico.
Clay and silt are found in?
Rivers and sedimentary basins.
Define ocean basin?
Hydrologically, an oceanic basin may be anywhere on Earth that is covered by seawater, but geologicallyocean basins are large geologic basins that are below sea level. Geologically, there are other underseageomorphological features such as the continental shelves, the deep ocean trenches, and the underseamountain ranges (for example, the mid-Atlantic ridge) which are not considered to be part of the ocean basins; while hydrologically, oceanic basins include the flanking continental shelves and shallow, epeiric seas.

How is Mars and earth alike?
Mars and Earth are very different planets when it comes to temperature, size, and atmosphere, but geologic processes on the two planets are surprisingly similar. On Mars, we see volcanoes, canyons, and impact basins much like the ones we see on Earth.
