The deserts in the southwestern U.S. are caused by the prevailing winds out of the west that carry moisture that is blocked by the coastal mountain ranges. They are rain shadow deserts. The eastern U.S. receives most of its moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and there are no mountain ranges to block it.
