Wind and rain beat upon the mountain and therefore cause erosion against the rock over time.
Wind and water will weather the mountain, causing it to change form over thousands of years.

it can change the mountains size and or shape. for example, erosion could change a mountain to a hill
Because of erosion and weathering. To be specific, Sun's energy, wind ,and water.

Typically the lee side of a mountain is where the effect of a rain shadow occurs. As a cloud moves over a mountain, it drops precipitation and rises. By the time that cloud gets over the mountain-top to the other side of the mountain, it has much less moisture to drop - thus leaving the lee side of the mountain much dryer.

The cycle of repeated collisons and rifting caan create old and complicated mountain ranges, such as the Appalachian Mountain

Over time, the Appalachian Mountains have been worn down by erosion from wind and rain. All mountain ranges do this.
measures the amount of rain that falls over time.
The rainshadow effect is what creates deserts to the east of mountain ranges in the northern hemisphere. Because our weather systems move basically from west to east, when a storm hits a mountain range the air is forced to rise over the mountain. When air rises, it cools, condenses and most of the moisture falls as rain or snow. By the time the system gets over the mountain there isn't enough moisture left to cause rain, so you get a desert on that side of the mountain.
