Where are the low latitude deserts located and why?
Low latitude deserts are primarily located near the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn, roughly between 20° and 30° north and south of the equator. These deserts, such as the Sahara and the Kalahari, are formed due to the descending air of the Hadley cell, which creates high-pressure systems that inhibit cloud formation and precipitation. The intense solar heating in these regions also contributes to high evaporation rates, further limiting moisture availability. As a result, these areas experience arid conditions with low rainfall.
Is most of the US located in the low middle or high latitude?
Most of the USA - all of the "Continental US" - is "mid-latitude". The State of Hawaii is "low latitude", while Alaska would be considered "high latitude". The boundaries are subject to some level of interpretation.....
