Highlighting the factors behind the formation of different types of deserts, give a brief account of the major landforms found in them.
Introduction
Deserts are large swathes of lands bereft of rainfall/precipitation.

Main Body
Deserts are large swathes of lands bereft of rainfall/precipitation. They are largely composed of sand etc. These can be hot or cold desert depending upon the latitudes they are found.

Note: Major deserts
Factors behind formation of different types of deserts are:
Cold ocean currents flow along with high pressure areas
RCP: Atacama desert
eg: Western coasts of continents in
regions of South East Trade winds
Major landforms present are:-

[RCP: wind erosion]
Conclusion
Other landforms like drumming & deserts are thus important in maintain ecosystem balance.
