How Desert Conditions Arise
Desert conditions arise when rainfall is far less than evaporation from surfaces. Evaporation increases toward the tropics and with winds and elevation, so no fixed rainfall defines aridity. Some tropical areas are dry with under 70 inches of rain, while fertile temperate zones may receive only about a third that amount.
