WRITTEN ANSWER:
Explain how latitude, land forms,
and the angle of the earth determine
a desert’s climate.
 Final Jeopardy Answer
Deserts fall in a latitude of
diverging winds which cause little rain.
If a mountain blocks wind from an ocean,
lack of clouds will cause dry conditions.
The tilt of the Earth determines the length
of summer and winter; desert regions tend
to be in areas close to the equator where
the sun is more direct year round.
