Yes. As moist air gets forced up the side of a mountain it cools and moisture in it can condense, leading to rain on the upwind side of the mountain.

What mountains cause the rain shadow?

Mountains located along a prevailing wind direction block the movement of moist air, forcing it to rise and cool. As the air rises, it cools and condenses, leading to precipitation on the windward side. On the leeward side, a rain shadow is formed as the now dry air descends, warms, and inhibits cloud formation, resulting in dry conditions. Key examples include the Sierra Nevada mountains in California causing a rain shadow effect in the Great Basin region and the Andes mountains creating a rain shadow in eastern South America.


What mountain cause the rain shadow in the Andes?
