The location of deserts is dependent on two factors, latitude and global wind patterns. Most deserts are located between 15' and 35' latitude, both north and south of the equator. In terms of global wind patterns, most deserts are located within the Southeastern and Northeastern trade winds belt.
Hot deserts are found in North America (e.g. Mojave), South Asia, South & Central America, Africa and Australia. They are further subdivided into Hot Dry desert, and Semi-arid desert. Hot Dry deserts are characterized by: 1  Generally warm seasons throughout the year.2  Very little or no rainfall during winter. 3  Extreme variation in temperature between night (-18ÂºC) and day (+49ÂºC).hey are further subdivided into Hot Dry desert, and Semi-arid desert.
