The paucity of precipitation in deserts is due to one or a combination of causes. Air MassesThe presence of downward circulating air masses, as in the tropical high pressure climatic zones located between 15° and 35° latitudes on both sides of the Equator, provides for very dry air masses at all times. LocationThe remoteness of inner continental ar...
Because desert air is very arid, during the day there is nothing to impede solar energy (insolation) from reaching, and heating, the land surface, which, in turn, heats the desert air to very high temperatures at night; for the same reason, there is nothing to prevent the air from losing its heat (radiation). This results in unusually high daily te...
