उत्तर
Tropical deserts occupy the western margins of the continents.
Explanation:
Tropical (hot) deserts are typically on the western margins of continents because the Trade Winds (between about 30°N and 30°S) blow from east to west and drop most of their moisture on the eastern coasts, becoming dry by the time they reach the western margins; cold offshore currents there also inhibit rainfall.
