What type of food did the great basin Indians eat?
Much of the foods that they ate were vegetables, but they also fished in the rivers, and hunted rabbits, antelope, and sometimes buffalo. The desert land was not suitable for farming, so they mainly gathered Piñon nuts. The nuts were essential to the tribes of this area because they were an excellent source of protein, and could be stored over the winter, when food and other resources were scarce. These could also be ground up to make flour; which was helpful for making other foods. Lastly, they also fished for salmon and trout, which thrived in the rivers of the Great Basin, and were a staple in the natives' food supply.

Which rivers in Nevada flow to the ocean?
Nevada is a landlocked state, meaning that no rivers within its borders flow directly to the ocean. Instead, the rivers in Nevada primarily drain into inland basins, such as the Great Basin, and do not reach the Pacific Ocean or any other ocean. The Colorado River, which forms part of Nevada's southern border, eventually flows to the Gulf of California, but it does not flow directly to the ocean from within Nevada.

What kind of rattlesnakes live in the Great Basin desert?
In the Great Basin desert, the primary rattlesnake species is the Great Basin rattlesnake (Crotalus oreganus lutosus). This snake is well-adapted to the arid environment and typically features a varied color pattern for camouflage among the desert landscape. Other species, such as the Western Diamondback rattlesnake (Crotalus atrox), can also be found in some areas of the Great Basin. These rattlesnakes play a crucial role in the ecosystem as both predators and prey.

What is the Murray basin?
It is actually called the Murray-Darling basin, because it is fed by Australia's two largest rivers, the Murray and the Darling. The Murray-Darling basin is a geographical area covering most of the southeastern quadrant of the continent, fed by dozens of tributaries into the Murray River and the Darling River. Because it is well irrigated by the many rivers, it is also Australia's largest agricultural region, covering two full states and parts of two other states.
What is the definition of divide in earth science?
In Earth science, "divide" refers to a ridgeline or elevated feature that separates the direction in which surface water flows. It marks the boundary between drainage basins or watersheds, where water flows on one side of the divide will drain to one basin, and water on the other side will drain to a different basin.
