An area is considered arid primarily due to low annual precipitation, which often falls below 250 millimeters (10 inches). This lack of moisture can result from various factors, including high evaporation rates, geographical features like mountains that block rain, and climatic conditions such as high pressure systems. Additionally, arid regions often experience extreme temperature fluctuations, further limiting vegetation and water availability.
