Why is the Pacific coast in the desert?
Only the Pacific coast along South America is desert. Most of the Pacific coast line in the rest of the Americas is not desert. In South America the prevalent wind direction is from the east. The Andes Mountains prevent moisture from the east from crossing, creating a rain shadow desert along the Pacific Coast. In North America the prevalent wind direction is from the west so the coast receives rain. However, the mountains prevent the rain from moving inland so rain shadow deserts form in these areas.
