Why are many of the major deserts located on the western part of the continents and also in the mid lattitude areas only?
Can you tell me why many of the major deserts are located on the western part of the continents and in mid-latitude areas only?
Sure, the reason for this is mainly due to the interaction of global wind patterns and the continental landmasses. The Earth's rotation and unequal heating of its atmosphere by the Sun cause the formation of global wind patterns, which play a major role in determining the distribution of deserts.
