What location is dry due to the rain shadow effect?

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.

Where have rain shadows formed deserts?

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.
