This state lies almost entirely in the huge desert called Great Basin?

The Great Basin is a desert region that covers much of the western United States. It is the largest desert in the United States, and the fourth-largest in North America. The Great Basin is bordered by the Sierra Nevada mountains to the west, the Rocky Mountains to the east, the Columbia Plateau to the north, and the Mojave Desert to the south.

Nevada is a state in the western United States. It is the seventh-largest state by land area, and the 32nd-most populous, with a population of over 3 million. Nevada is almost entirely in the Great Basin, with only a small portion of the state extending into the Mojave Desert.
