Air near the equator is high in moisture and rises and forms storms near the equator, giving us rainforests in that region. The air, now lacking in moisture, sinks back to earth between 20 degrees and 40 degrees north and south, suppressing storm development. This is the region where most deserts form. Also, the coastal mountain ranges and Sierra Nevada Mountains of the western region block moisture from the Pacific forming rain shadow deserts on the leeward side of the mountains. Therefore, the southwestern United States experiences a double whammy from Mother Nature.
