Why is there lower rainfall in central than western parts of Australia?
The eastern side of Australia rise to over 1800 meters above mean sea level to capture the moisture by the south-east trade winds that blow over Australia. The location of these mountain ranges is such that they block the winds and they steadily rise against the mountain to condense rapidly and give copious rains on the eastern side. As all the moisture is lost in the eastern side when it comes to the central and west it is dry which forms deserts.
