A rather simple example would be that a warm prevailing wind draws up water while crossing a large ocean. Reaching a mountain range, the rain is dropped on the weather side as the wind gains height and cools to pass over the mountains. Once on the other side of the mountains, there is no rain left for the wind to drop. So, in the shadow of the mountains, there forms a dry region.

Why are continental tropical hot and very dry?

Continental tropical regions are hot and very dry because they are located far from water bodies, which limits the amount of moisture in the air. Additionally, the intense heating of the land in these regions leads to high temperatures and causes moisture to evaporate quickly, resulting in dry conditions.

What causes dry weather conditions in arid regions?

Dry weather conditions in arid regions are primarily caused by a lack of moisture due to low levels of precipitation. This can be exacerbated by high temperatures and strong winds, which can increase evaporation rates. Additionally, the presence of mountains or other geographical features can block moisture-laden air masses from reaching these regions.
