What are the major drainage regions in the US?
Some major drainage regions in the US include the Mississippi River Basin, the Great Lakes Basin, the Columbia River Basin, and the Colorado River Basin. These regions are characterized by their networks of rivers, tributaries, and watersheds that drain into larger bodies of water such as rivers, lakes, and oceans.
How are rivers in the great basin different from most other rivers?
Small streams flow into rivers and the rivers flow to bigger rivers.
What is unusual about the rivers and streams that flow into the great basin?
The rivers and streams that flow into the Great Basin are unusual because they are endorheic, meaning they do not flow into an ocean or sea. Instead, they drain into lakes or evaporate, leading to a closed hydrological system. This results in high evaporation rates and high salinity levels in the lakes, as minerals accumulate without being flushed away. The Great Basin's unique geography and climate contribute to this distinctive water behavior.
