The Mojave Desert, often referred to as the High Desert, is an arid region located in southeastern California and portions of Arizona, Utah and Nevada.

The desert boundaries include Tehachapi and the San Gabriel and San Bernardino mountains. The mountain ranges are distinct, outlining the two largest Earthquake faults in California, the San Andreas Fault and the Garlock Fault
The Mojave Desert is home to 1,750 and 2,000 species of plants supporting the species with less the ten inches of rainfall per year.
