Nevada features the basin and range province of large mountain ranges interspersed with long valleys and alkali flats. In addition, part of the western border of the state is in the mostly-plutonic Sierra Nevada, shared with the state of California, and the volcanic Columbia Plateau shared with Oregon and Idaho. Deserts are also important geographical features in the state, including large portions of the Great Basin Desert and the Mohave Desert. Major rivers are the Colorado (including Lake Mead), Truckee, Carson, Walker, and Humboldt Rivers. The northern border region includes parts of the watersheds of the Owyhee, Bruneau, and Jarbidge Rivers as tributuries to the Snake River. The igneous rocks and hot springs in many areas give evidence of the volcanic origins of the landscape there.
