What is the reason for the major hot deserts of the world lying in the Western part of the tropical latitude?

  1. They are influenced by trade winds.

  2. They lie in the rain-shadow area of the mountains.

  3. They are influenced by monsoon winds.

  4. They are influenced by dry winds.
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Major hot deserts are located on the western sides of continents in the subtropics because they are under the influence of dry, offshore trade winds. As these winds blow from east to west across the land, they lose their moisture before reaching the western coasts. Additionally, cold ocean currents along these western coasts further stabilize the atmosphere and suppress rainfall.
