The North American prairies receive little rain because they are located in the rain shadow of the Rocky Mountains, which block moisture-laden air coming from the west. Additionally, the prairies are distant from large bodies of water, which can contribute moisture to the atmosphere. These factors combine to create semi-arid conditions in the prairies.

The thick fertile soil of the North American prairies, known as mollisols, developed over thousands of years through a combination of factors such as climate, vegetation, and geological processes. It is estimated that it took several thousand years for the deep layers of topsoil to form in these prairies.
