Best Answer

Due to the change in atmospheric conditions a mountain can cause, the windward side of the mountain received the rain while the leeward side of the mountain does not receive the moisture creating a desert landscape. As the moisture rises to overtake the mountain the clouds condense creating rain on the windward side which creates an atmosphere of little to no moisture on the leeward side of the mountain.
