Briefly explain why most deserts develop in the mid-latitude dry climate zone. What will be an ideal response?

Question 2

Equatorial regions receive the most heat, while polar regions receive the least. Therefore, what air
  pressures would you expect to be characteristic of these regions? What will be an ideal response?

Answer to Question 1

It is at this latitude that high-pressure ridges form, and as air that is already dry descends, it becomes
warmer, causing increased evaporation.

Answer to Question 2

Low pressures in the equatorial regions; high pressures in the polar regions.
