Transcript of Coastal Desert Biomes. The Coastal Deserts The coastal deserts lie on the western coast of Africa and South America close to the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. They include the coastal desert of Western Sahara, the Skeleton Coast of Namibia Angola, and the Atacama Desert of Chile. The coastal deserts have harsh climates but a suprising number of plants and animals manage to survive. The type of climate determines where the plants and animals live and how they have adapted to survive. There are four major types of climates that classify the coastal deserts.
