The Peru Current, also called Humboldt Current, cold-water current of the southeast Pacific Ocean passes along the west coast of South America and is partially responsible for the Atacama Desert.
The Peru Current, also known as the Humboldt Current, flows from the tip of South America to northern Peru. It passes by the Atacama Desert which is the driest non-polar desert on Earth.

The answer is the Atacama Desert. The desert covers an area of 40,541 square miles.
Both the Atacama Desert and the Sechura Desert are found in western Peru and both are quite dry.
No current passes through the Atacama Desert but the Humbolt, or Peruvian Current, passes just off shore and has a great influence on the climate of the Atacama.
The Humboldt (Peruvian current) passes along the coast of the Atacama and Sechura Deserts.
Lunar
A lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes through the Earth's shadow.
Yes, the Tropic passes through the Australian desert.
No it does not, the Tropic of Cancer does
Many deserts are rain shadow deserts. Mountain ranges block the flow of moisture from the ocean and cause it to fall on the windward side. The dry air then passes over the mountains to the leeward side and there is no moisture left so a rain shadow desert forms. See the diagram above,
