How did the Himalayas help create deserts in central Asia?
Frequently mountain ranges will block the flow of moisture laden air off an ocean from crossing into the interior of a continent. The moisture is forced upward by the mountains where it condenses and falls as rain or snow on the windward side of the mountains leaving a rain shadow desert on the leeward side. See the image above.
