What are the different types of deserts?

🏜 Based on their geographical positions, and dominant weather patterns, desert ecosystems can be divided into six types.

🔴 Subtropical Deserts
are found between 15-30 degrees both to the north and south of the equator along the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn, respectively.

🟡 Coastal Deserts
are located on the coasts of the continents found between 20-30-degree latitude, and cold ocean currents contribute to their formation.

🟣 Cold Winter/Semi-arid Deserts
are located near the edges of other deserts and in the continental dry areas.

🟠 Rain Shadow Deserts
exist near the leeward slopes of some mountain ranges. Leeward slopes face away from prevailing winds.

🟤 Interior/Inland Deserts
are found in the heart of continents and exist because no moisture-laden winds reach them.

⚪️ Polar Deserts
are located in the Arctic and Antarctic regions, and most of their water is locked in glaciers and ice sheets year-round.
