Hi there!♥️

Answer:-

Queensland’s coast is touched by the warm east Australian current and gets heavy rainfall by trade winds from sea towards land, but Atacama desert is touched by cold Peruvian current and the westerlies blowing from land towards sea make Atacama the cold driest desert in the world.

Answer 2

Answer:

The area of Queensland carry a lot of water and that is why it experiences heavy rainfall.

Cold current flow towards Atacama and do not have water due to which it does rain in this desert and so the area is arid
