Research done on Nevada, its landscape and the history of the state and its deserts.
Nevada is the the most mountainous state in America, and also the driest. It homes the huge city, Los Vegas, which gets millions of tourists each year.
The Mojave Desert is it’s biggest desert and it has many species uniquely evolved for that area.
Area 51 is hidden in the desert there, but many alien enthusiasts come every year to try and discover “The truth” about what’s out there.
Area 51 has almost extensively only been used for military uses, such as new technology and testing grounds for weaponry.
The desert around Area 51 covers a broad territory and in some parts, if you are seen entering restricted areas, you could get shot on sight.
Area 51 only really was established in the 1950s, to prepare the USA from attack of the Russians, during the time of the Cold War.
There has also been nuclear bomb tests in the area, and experiments on what radiation does to living creatures and the area it is exposed to.
The mountain range in Nevada keeps the rain away from it’s desert, as the mountains block the clouds like a shield, with plenty of rain on the opposite side, while leaving the desert dry.
The houses in the area have mostly flat roofs, as snow in Nevada is very unlikely. A lot of the houses in the 50s in Nevada were also bungalow, as that helped to keep the homes cool, without losing too much excessive heat.
The sky is usually bright blue with a hot sun, as clouds are rarely around the desert areas.
Nevada is actually one of the least populated areas in the USA, even in the 50s when it began to get noticed for its interesting “activities” in it’s military bases.
There’s also an abundant of cacti in the Mojave Desert, and many giant red stoned rocks spread around the sandy desert as well.
There also is a lot of shrubbery here, adapted to suit the dry weather that surrounds the area.
