Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dry lands are mostly found in the subtropical regions, which lie between 20 and 30 degrees north and south of the equator. These regions are predominantly arid or semi-arid due to their location in the zones of high atmospheric pressure called the subtropical high-pressure belts. The Sahara, the Arabian Peninsula, and the Australian Outback are some of the notable examples of dry lands that lie within this region.
