Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Most of Earth's great deserts are located around 30° latitude, on either side of the equator. This is because the descending air of the Hadley cell creates a dry climate in these regions. Examples of deserts located around 30° latitude include the Sahara Desert, the Mojave Desert, and the Australian Outback.
