उत्तर
Tropical deserts lie in the zone of trade winds.
Explanation:
Tropical (hot) deserts occur roughly between about 15°–30° N and S on the western margins of continents under the subtropical high‑pressure belt. The prevailing trade winds in this zone are dry (having lost moisture earlier), and the descending branch of the Hadley circulation produces high pressure and very little precipitation, so deserts form.
