18. 18 Why are most of the deserts located in the Western side of the continent? Hot deserts are on the western side of the continents because of the following reasons: Off shore Trade Winds  : This is one of the principle reasons for the location of Hot deserts on the western margins of continents. The trade winds blow in the North Easterly direction in the northern hemisphere while they blow in the South Easterly direction in the southern hemisphere. As such they blow over land and very dry thus no possibility of causing precipitation. Cold Oceanic Currents  : The presence of cold ocean currents along the western shores of continents leads to the development of high pressure over the water surface. This high pressure leads to subsidence of air hinders cloud formation. This would be another important reason. Presence of orographic/mountain barrier  : In case of hot deserts like the Mojave desert(USA) where the Rockies and the Thar desert(India) where the Aravallis act as orographic barrier to the rain bearing winds. All the above points have also been included in the other answers on this thread so additionally adding something on cold deserts (trying to be different :-p) Cold deserts are formed because: Interior location  :Deserts like Gobi, Takla Makan , Namib are located at such a distance from the sea/ocean that the air loses all its moisture till the time it reaches them and thus there is no precipitation. Orographic barrier  : In case of Atacama desert it is the presence of Andes and not distance from the sea. Similarly in case of Ladakh in India it is the presence of high mountains surrounding it that makes it a desert. Additionally there is the effect of cold currents in case of Atacama desert thus making it one of the driest regions of the world.
