QUESTION 3
Spatial Distribution Pattern of dry climates over the world.
Dry climates are located in bands immediately to the north and south of the low latitude
humid climates. Many dry regions are associated with the subtropical high pressure zone,
for example the Sahara desert in Africa.
The Sahara has one of the world's most severe climates. Typically, the Sahara landscape
experiences extremely limited to virtually no rainfall, powerful and capricious winds and
wide temperature ranges.
Across the desert, the annual average rainfall equals no more than a few inches or less,
much less in many locations. In some areas, no rain at all may fall over several years.
Then, several inches may fall in a torrential downpour. Then, no rain at all may fall for
several more years.
The prevailing wind, which blows from the northeast toward the equator throughout the
year, accounts for the desert's aridness. As the wind moves south westward, the air
warms, dissipating moisture that might otherwise be released as rainfall. Locally, hot winds
often lift sand and dust particles from the desert floor, spinning them upward through
cooler air as dust devils or propelling them south westward as fierce and blinding dust
storms
