Question
Deserts are found in the western margins of continents.
Short Note
Solution
- Most of the world deserts are located in the western margins of continents in the subtropics because the prevailing winds in the tropics are tropical easterly winds.
- The tropical easterly winds become dry by the time they reach the western margins of the continent and so they bring no rainfall.
