Why are the plateaus and basins between the pacific ranges and the rocky mountain so arid?

The Pacific Ranges block any most air from the Pacific, and force the humidity to fall as rain. Storms form over the Great Plains when cool air from the north meets with warm, humid air from the Gulf of Mexico. However, the Rocky Mountains block any humid air from the Gulf, so it can't reach the basins and plateaus.

Rocks change over time due to a series of events, showing evidence of things that once happened on Earth. They are very important to science!


Types of landforms?

The shaped surface of the Earth is particularly featured by the landform.
