Warm air expands and rises from the base on one side of the mountain. It cools and contracts in the clouds above the mountain and sinks back down but on the desert side of the mountains. This way both sides of the mountain are heated properly.
the eastern side because there is less rain/moisture.
Hot deserts are usually sandy. Cold deserts are usually rocky
some facts about cold deserts are they are cold and mostly no plants can grow their unlike hot deserts with cactuses
Deserts are located in regions of low precipitation. Even Antarctica is considered a desert because of this.
Areas of the country with continuous and severe water shortages are called deserts.
Convection currents create weather patterns over different regions of the Earth. Warm air rising at the equator creates low pressure, leading to rain and storms. Cool air sinking at the poles creates high pressure, leading to dry conditions. This circulation drives the global atmospheric and oceanic circulation systems.
Deserts are often found in locations with low precipitation levels, such as arid regions near the equator or in the rain shadows of mountain ranges. They can also be found in coastal regions where cold ocean currents create dry conditions.
Deserts do not have ocean currents although they may be located near an ocean current.
Hawaii has no true deserts nor does it have mountain ranges. All mountains in Hawaii are volcanic in origin and not the result of normal tectonic mountain building.
Deserts often form on the leeward side of a mountain.

Marmots prefer mountain forests, steppe and grassland and do not live in deserts.
because of rain shadow or ocean currents
The two mountain ranges in the Sahara deserts are Ahaggar and the Atlas Mountains.
Yes, bears do live and survive in deserts but generally prefer the mountain regions of deserts.
