Answer to Question 1

Answer: Because dry climates are defined in terms of the amount of moisture needed to support vegetation, which is higher in warm climates than in cool climates.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The mechanisms that cause precipitation are condensation, the conversion of water vapor to a liquid state, and rising air through convection, orographic uplift or frontal uplift.
