Why is western plateau of Australia rainless?
It isn't. Although the western plateau is largely desert and semi-arid, this does not mean it is rainless.
The east coast of Australia receives more rain than the west because the eastfaces the Pacific Ocean, which has warmer sea temperatures than the Indian Ocean in the west. The simplest explanation here is that rain forms through condensation which occurs when warm air meets cooler air. Cold ocean currents off the western coast mean less rainfall is brought to the region, because there is less variation in sea and air temperatures (except in the northwest, which is prime Cyclone territory in summer).
