The Great Basin receives little rainfall primarily due to its location and topography. It is situated in a rain shadow created by the Sierra Nevada mountain range to the west, which blocks moist air from the Pacific Ocean. As air rises over the mountains, it cools and loses moisture as precipitation, leaving the interior basin dry. Additionally, the Great Basin's high elevation and desert-like conditions contribute to its arid climate.
