look..wind flows from east to west in the subtropics
due to coroilis force...so when the monsoon winds that have humidity start blowing frm eat towards west it starts loosing its humidity nd water content..ultimately when it reaches to west direction all its moisture dries up..leaving that area wid little or no rain....as a consequence that area turns to barren ..nd this leads to desert formation in those ares...therefore due to these reasons the deserts r found in the western margine of subtropical or most of the area.
hope this helps

Answer:
Most of the worlds 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 continents and so they bring no rainfall.
