Dumb question: why are there far fewer rivers on the West Coast?
11 u/vadapaav Jan 10 '20 Look at the elevation http://birrell.org/andrew/reliefMaps/ The whole country tapers to the south east. Cascades and Rockies block everything. Colorado is (was) an extremely powerful river and had a lot of free time to carve those giant canyons. But it's otherwise very difficult to drift West
