Why are the Interior Plains so dry?

Okay, so I have a geography exam tomorrow, so i'm doing the review.

"What are 2 main factors the cause the dry climate of the Interior Plains? (One factor is in the name of the region itself, and the other factor has to do with the region to the west.)"

Thanks.

    The region to the west referred to is the Rocky Mtns. Because of the prevailing westerly winds in the mid-latitudes, the moist air of the Pacific is blocked from traveling past the Rockies. The Great Plains are in the rain shadow of the Rockies.
