Explanation:

The United States is one of the largest countries in the world, so it is no wonder that there are numerous different climate types across its territory. One of the climate types that can be found is the arid climate type.

The arid climate is found in the southwestern and western parts of the country. It is characterized by very high temperatures in summer, though they are milder in winter. The precipitation levels are very small, so the dominant vegetation is highly specialized for dry conditions, and the same can be said about the animals. The main reason why there is such a type of climate in this particular part of the US is that the mountains and plateaus have created a very large leeward area, with very little humidity managing to reach it.
