Answer:
We observe that most of the deserts are on the western sides of the continents in the subtropics. These are the results of the prevailing easterly winds of the tropics, which are the trade winds. ... These winds become dry when they reach the western sides of the continents, and hence don't bring any rain with them.

Answer:
Some deserts are found on the western edges of continents. They are caused by cold ocean currents, which run along the coast. They cool the air and make it harder for the air to hold moisture. ... Some deserts form in the rain shadow of mountains, eg the Atacama Desert is located in the rain shadow of the Andes
