Why does Kalahari receive less rainfall?

The Kalahari Desert receives less rainfall primarily due to its location in the subtropical high-pressure belt, where descending air leads to dry conditions. Additionally, the desert's distance from moisture sources, such as oceans, limits the amount of precipitation it receives. This combination of atmospheric circulation patterns and geographical factors contributes to the Kalahari's arid climate.
