Mountains "breathe" through a process known as orographic lift, where moist air is forced upward as it encounters the mountain range. As the air rises, it cools and condenses, leading to precipitation on the windward side. This process creates lush ecosystems and influences weather patterns. On the leeward side, the air descends and warms, often resulting in drier conditions, known as a rain shadow effect.
