Explanation / Answer

Q22) correct answer-option D All of these

explanation :

The region of southwest USA has developed as a desert because the region falls in the rain shadow reason whose one reason in the presence of mountains on the west of their location, because of which, when the air carrying water comes in contact with the mountains it shreds all the water and has nothing left for this region.

Also this happens because these area are located in the interior of the continent.

The explanation of high pressure is that, since the location is located near 30 degree North lattitude beacuse of which air circulations bring dry air in this region.
