The answer is: mountains

Explanation:

  • The Basin and Range region is characterized by a series of parallel mountain ranges separated by down-dropped valleys or basins. This geological feature is a result of crustal extension, which causes the Earth's crust to stretch and break into blocks. The blocks that are uplifted form the steep, high mountains, while the blocks that sink form the low-lying basins. This pattern of alternating mountains and basins is typical of the Basin and Range Province, which extends across parts of the western United States and Mexico.
