Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distribution of dry climate regimes is primarily determined by latitude (distance from the equator) and the amount of moisture deficit (the amount of rainfall received compared to the amount of evaporation and transpiration). Other factors such as local topography, prevailing winds, and ocean currents can also play a role. Longitude, hemisphere, and atmospheric circulation patterns such as Hadley and Ferrell cells may indirectly influence these factors but are not direct determinants of dry climate regimes. The jet stream and Rossby waves are also not direct determinants of dry climate regimes.
