Which of the following best explains the presence of the Namib Desert in South West Africa?

The presence of the Namib Desert in South West Africa can be explained by the fact that the coast is washed by the cool Benguela current. This current flows along the southwestern coast of Africa and creates a cold and dry climate. The cool air from the ocean cannot hold much moisture, so it does not rain very often. As a result, the Namib Desert has formed along the coast of South West Africa. The other options are not correct. The area is not too far from the sea because the Namib Desert is located along the coast. The westerlies, which are strong winds that blow from west to east, do not have a significant impact on the formation of the Namib Desert. The distance from the Kalahari Desert, which is located to the east of the Namib Desert, is not a major factor in the formation of the Namib Desert.
