Location, location, location!

Deserts are the result of geography. Mountains create deserts by blocking moisture from reaching some areas. Sinking air north and south of the equator creates deserts. Cold ocean currents contribute to the formation of deserts. Prevailing winds help create deserts.

Today, man is contributing to the growth of deserts with poor agricultural practices, over grazing areas with livestock, etc. This process is called desertification.
