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.

What is shifting of pressure belt?
It is the temperature which controls the pressure belts and ,therefore, as the sun moves from one tropic to another, the pressure belts also do the same.This phenomenon is called as shifting of pressure belts.
What are the causes and consequence of shifting of pressure belts?
the shifting of pressure belts causes some places to be in different wind belts during the year thus affecting their climates... the belts of precipitation associated with them also change their positions when pressure belts shift with the seasons.
What is the cause of global wind belts?
Its caused by the combination of pressure belts and the Coriolis effect.
