Can mountains can affect climate by creating rain shadows?

How do rain shadows form?
Rain shadows form when moist air from an ocean or sea is pushed up against a mountain range. As the air rises, it cools and releases moisture as precipitation on the windward side of the mountains. By the time the air descends on the leeward side, it is dry, creating a rain shadow effect with very little precipitation.
How does rain effect human health?

Where do rain shadows form?
Rain Shadows form on the leeward side of some mountain ranges. The mountains block the flow of moist air and force it to condense and fall as rain on the windward side of the mountain. See the diagram above.

How does the Rain shadows effect climate?
A rain shadow is formed on the lee side of a mountain. Rain clouds hitting the weather-side may cause the rain to fall. As the clouds pass over the mountain, there is little rain left to fall on the lee side. Hence the rain shadow forms as a drier area.
Do rain shadows have clouds and rain?
Rain shadows occur when moist air rises over a mountain, causing precipitation on one side, leaving little moisture to the other side, resulting in a drier area called a rain shadow. While rain shadows can have clouds, they typically have minimal precipitation, so they receive less rain compared to the windward side of the mountain.
The rain shadow effect has its greatest influence on the climate of Los Angeles?
Not really. Some areas in town that are downwind of the larger mountains get some mild rainshadow effect but the real rain shadows are further inland in the desert, East of or downwind of the major mountain ranges.
