The windward side.
The side of the mountain range that faces the wind often has lush plant life. This is because clouds pile up there and drop their moisture before crossing over the mountains, often evaporating as they do so.
The land on the windward side of a mountain range is usually green and lush while the other side is usually drier because the clouds tend to pile up on the windward side. The clouds then drop their moisture before they cross the mountains, making the windward side wet and the other side dry.

The land on the windward side of a mountain range is usually green and lush while the other side is usually drier because the clouds tend to pile up on the windward side. The clouds then drop their moisture before they cross the mountains, making the windward side wet and the other side dry.
The windward side of a mountain range receives moist air from the prevailing winds. As the air rises up the slope, it cools and releases moisture as precipitation, creating a wetter climate and supporting lush vegetation. In contrast, the leeward side, or the rain shadow side, receives drier air that has already lost much of its moisture on the windward side, resulting in a drier climate and less vegetation.
The windward side of coastal mountain ranges tends to be wet and humid due to the moist air being forced upwards and cooling, leading to precipitation. This results in lush vegetation and higher levels of rainfall compared to the leeward side.
The windward side of a mountain typically receives higher amounts of precipitation due to moist air being forced upward as it encounters the mountain. As the air rises, it cools and condenses, leading to cloud formation and precipitation. This side is often characterized by lush vegetation and diverse ecosystems. In contrast, the leeward side, or rain shadow, tends to be drier and can have arid conditions.
The area of the mountain that receives high rainfall is called the windward side. This side of the mountain is typically lush and green due to the moist air being forced to rise and cool, leading to precipitation.
It is the sloped side of a mountain that is colder and gets more rain. Why? Because the leeward side is the opposite of the windward side and is also dryer because when the clouds climb the mountain range (windward side) they loses all their water so there is none left for the leeward side.
