Deserts have a high air pressure so the air sinks, making the no. of clouds less and bringing expected dry weather.
High pressure areas form when an airmass cools over a cool land or ocean surface. The cooling causes the air layer to shrink, becoming slightly thinner. This shrinkage then causes surrounding air in the upper troposphere to fill up the extra space. The added weight of the extra air causes higher pressure at the surface.
Remember: cool air------> more dense

Clouds do not precipitate in deserts due to low pressure. Clouds do not precipitate in deserts due to low pressure.
High pressure air travels "downwards and clockwise"
Winds occur as air moves from high pressure to low pressure.Wind occurs as air moves from a place of low air pressure to a place of high air pressure is a true statement.
high pressure because the air is very dense. so it's pressure is also very high
A high pressure center of dry air is called an anticyclone
Yes, high pressure belts, especially around 30 degrees north and 30 degrees south contribute to the formation of deserts. High pressure is sinking air that inhibits air from rising to carry moisture into the higher atmosphere and suppresses the development of rain storms.
The descent of dry air at these latitudes.

air pressure is the amount of air pushing down on you and high pressure is air that rises.
because air pressure is high

Answer this question… What is injected into high pressure air
High atmospheric pressure generally suppresses the development of rain clouds. The earth has belts of high pressure, usually between latitudes of 25 - 35 degrees north or south, where many of the earth's deserts are located.
In areas of high pressure the air is being squeezed more by the air above it than it is in areas of lower pressure. So the air will tend to get pushed away from the high pressure area.
