Similar to the Basin and Range regions, which states are there? Basin and Range Province are an arid physiographic region that covers a large portion of the United States' western and southwest regions. It includes Nevada, Utah's western half, southeastern California, Arizona, and much of the southern portion of Arizona. It also extends into northern Mexico.

What is the reason for the Basin and Range Province?

Tension in the region is creating basins (valleys), and ranges, which pull in an east-west direction. The region's surface has been weakened by the movement of hot mantle under it for the past 30 million years.

Is the Basin and Range Province still active?

The central Basin and Range Province is considered "young" because it is still a part of the Western landscape in an active development phase. (See Figure 3 if you have doubts). Contrary to this, Wyoming's Laramide Ranges and Montana's Wyoming Rockies have been tectonically active for at least 30 million years.
