Continental deserts occur in the centers of large continents. As inland winds travel from the sea over land, they lose moisture in the form of rain, and by the time they reach the center of a large continent, they are very dry. The Sahara, most Australian deserts, most North American Deserts, the Kalahari and Gobi Deserts are examples of continental deserts.
