Why there are more coastal deserts along the western coasts?
Ocean and wind currents above the equator flow in a clockwise pattern, while those south of the equator flow in a counterclockwise pattern. But all the winds and currents meet at the equator and flow east to west forming the trade winds and equatorial currents.

What 2 global belts explain the climate of the Sahara?
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.

Polar Easterlies
