Much of the rain bearing cloud that hits the east coast of Australia is forced to drop its water as it crosses the great dividing range along the east coast of Australia.
Mountains can affect climate is that sometimes mountains can affect the movement of air.
Mountains affect climate as mountains receive more rainfall than lower lying areas because the temperatures on top of the mountains are lower that the temperatures at sea level. This is why snow on the peak of mountains can be seen all year round. As altitude increases, air becomes thinner and is less able to absorb and retain heat.
yes it does :)
There is less rainfall on the lands beside the mountains. The mountains block rain. Also, clouds moving towards the lands rise to avoid the mountains, cooling the clouds even more. As cool clouds cannot carry as much water, the rain will start to fall on the mountains and not the land beside them. Thus, the lands beside the mountains hardly get rain and are dryer and hotter.
There are many different ways that the weather is affected by landforms. Orographic lifting is when the mountains moves air upwards. The coastline brings in a sea breeze that blows on the shore during the day and offshore at night.

How do mountains and basins affect life in Texas?
