Are the latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle called high middle or low latitude regions?

"High" latitudes. The equator has a latitude of zero. The area between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.5 degrees south) are the "tropics" or low latitudes. The "polar regions" are above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle, where the latitudes are higher than 66.5 degrees (north or south) are "high". The areas between the tropics and the arctic/antarctic are called "mid-latitudes or "temperate zones".

Why are most of the arid and semi-arid environments of the world found between 20 degrees north and 40 degrees north latitudes and 20 degrees south and 40 degrees south latitudes?

At the equator the moist air rises and rain falls over the tropics. The air then moves north and south of the equator and sinks between 20 degrees and 40 degrees north and south. Since the air is now dry and sinking, little rain falls and the areas around these latitudes are deserts and semiarid lands.
