earth rotates from west to east. so first the sun rays will fall on the eastern side of earth. as a result of high temperature , low pressure is created . low pressure will result in rainfall. as these moisture laden clouds will move ,there will be many obstructs on the way . so the western part will remain dry and hence we will find most deserts on the western sides of the continents.
this is also because the winds blow from east and become dry by the time they reach in the western side.
