The location of deserts is dependent on two factors, latitude and global wind patterns. Most deserts are located between 15' and 35' latitude, both north and south of the equator. In terms of global wind patterns, most deserts are located within the Southeastern and Northeastern trade winds belt.
Some deserts, however, are located on the west coasts of continents, such as the Namib in Africa, or the Atacama in Chile, forming coastal fog-deserts whose aridity is the result of cold oceanic currents.The deserts of the world occur in six global bio-geographical realms:Afrotropic deserts are found in the sub-Saharan part of Africa, and in the southern fringe of the Arabian Peninsula. Pressures on the ecosystem from humans are relatively high, especially in the Horn of Africa and Madagascar.ome deserts, however, are located on the west coasts of continents, such as the Namib in Africa, or the Atacama in Chile, forming coastal fog-deserts whose aridity is the result of cold oceanic currents.
