Deserts are formed primarily due to low precipitation levels, resulting in arid and dry conditions. Other factors that contribute to desert formation include high temperatures, geographical location in rain shadows (areas blocked by mountain ranges from receiving precipitation), and prevailing wind patterns that limit the moisture content in the region.
