GeographyClass 7AllAnswered 12 Apr 2026
Answer
Ans Winds passing over the warm currents pick up the moisture and cause heavy rainfall, for e.g., eastern USA and western coast of Europe. Whereas the winds blowing over cold currents become cool and dry and bring hardly any rainfall. Therefore, deserts are found here.
