As a geologist, I explain the basin and range like skin stretch marks ✨

Majority of Nevada was under water, hence the name "Great Basin". You are technically standing on a sea bed.

Ancient lake lahontan and the state has no out lets to the ocean. Every bit of water that doesn’t evaporate is in the ground here.

I love looking at the mountains there. You can tell they’re different from other mountain ranges but they’re so scenic

I grew up in the basin and range (Utah) and the fascination with the geology there led me to become a geo. Wrapping up a PhD in volcanology/geochemistry/igneous petrology.

Well also think about how at one point, all of nevada was underwater so they were formed but both the streaching and old ocean water

My husband was just marveling at how the mountain ranges here are so narrow. Now I can tell him why!

I feel lucky that I got to go through central Nevada once. It was so desolate and beautiful.

Nevadan mountains are something else… They’re so imposing and mysterious looking unlike anywhere else. Especially with the sky islands some of those mountains are entirely different worlds up tot

I've lived in the Sierras for 26 years and that is the best explanation I've ever seen on the origin of the western US mountains, I finally understand

I'm in southern Nevada but I love our mountains, especially as someone who grew up on an island in the middle Chesapeake Bay. They're incredible.
