USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hot desert climates are found across vast areas of North Africa, Western Asia, northwestern parts of the Indian Subcontinent, interior Australia, the Southwestern United States, northern Mexico, the coast of Peru, and Chile.

Detailed explanation-2: -In a broad sense, the Southwest’s climate is mostly dry and hot, with much of the region characterized as arid. Dry conditions are common throughout the Great Plains, Colorado Plateau, and Basin and Range. Cold continental conditions dominate the higher altitudes, especially within the Rocky Mountains.

Detailed explanation-3: -These climates tend to have hot, sometimes extremely hot, summers and warm to cool winters, with some to minimal precipitation. Hot semi-arid climates are most commonly found around the fringes of subtropical deserts. Hot semi-arid climates are most commonly found in Africa, Australia and South Asia.

Detailed explanation-4: -The climate of the Southwest is most influenced by its geographic location between the mid-latitude and subtropical atmospheric circulation regimes. This positioning leads to year-round warm temperatures, low annual precipitation, and clear skies.

Detailed explanation-5: -The American Southwest might evoke images of a hot, dry landscape-a land of rock, canyons, and deserts baked by the sun. Indeed, much of this region has low annual rainfall and seasonally high temperatures that contribute to its characteristic desert climate.
