The trade winds are two belts of air that flow around the earth. These winds heat up as the approach the equator and bring dry arid air when they cross land. The Sahara is a trade wind desert.

the major global wind belts are the trade winds, the polar easterlies, and the prevailing westerlies.
Pressure belts, such as the Equatorial Low Pressure Belt and Subtropical High Pressure Belt, influence climate by affecting wind patterns and the distribution of heat around the Earth. These pressure belts help drive the global circulation system, which in turn impacts precipitation patterns and temperatures in different regions. Changes in the intensity or position of pressure belts can lead to shifts in climate patterns.
Regions that are located closer to the equator or in the rain shadow of mountain ranges are more likely to have an arid climate. Areas in desert belts, such as the Sahara in Africa or the Atacama Desert in South America, are known for their arid conditions.

The six Wind Belts are the Polar Easterlies, the Prevailing Westerlies, the Trade Winds, the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ), the Hadley Cell, and the Ferrel Cell. These wind belts help distribute heat and pressure across Earth's surface, playing a crucial role in global climate patterns.
Temperature variation.
Its caused by the combination of pressure belts and the Coriolis effect.
Uneven heating of the sun.
Global wind belts and calm regions affect , is the trade winds blow from the east and die out as they come near the equator . The westerlies blow from the west and move storms across the United States. The easterlies blow from the east and they cause stormy weather to occur when cold air forms this belt meets warm air of the westerlies.
