Well, i know that when moist winds move up a mountain peak, they will lose moisture. So, comming back down the clouds have little moisture left. when this happens constantly, it creates a rain shadow. A rain shadow is an area that receives little rain due to this effect.
i hope that is what you were asking, and please correct me if i am wrong!!
