Main Body
Hot deserts

2Sandy in nature due to less rainfall unto surface
3Hot air blowing over the landscape
4Similar flora- Acacia, cactus etc

2Less rainfall
Desert - influenced by local factors
1Effect of ocean currents
Cold currents lead to high pressure and create a place of rainfall. Ex-atacama desert
2Effect of winds
Westerlies in Tropical regions lead to high pressure conditions leading to low precipitation leading to desert formation.
3Presence in rain shadow area results in less precipitation Ex- Namib desert. No cloud formation due to: high pressure, cold water.
4Cold water recently in high pressure = No LoT [illegible]
