Question

Where are located in the Western margins of continents in the subtropics?

Answer 1

All the tropical deserts lie on thewestern side in subtropical high pressure belt, except for Somalia desert which is the only desert lying closest to equator and on eastern side of the deserts.Subtropical high pressure belt deserts lie on the western side of the continent and in thesubtropics.

Answer 2

Deserts are most common in the western margins of the continents in the tropics.Because of the cold ocean currents along the western margins of the continents.The air that blows over the cold ocean currents becomes cold and thereby the moisture is sucked, this makes the region devoid of moisture and rainfall.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 continents and so they bring no rainfall.
