Rainshadow
The rainshadow effect is a meteorological phenomenon that occurs when moist air moving inland from the ocean is forced to rise over a mountain range. As the air rises, it cools and releases moisture in the form of rain or snow on the windward side of the mountains. Once the air descends on the leeward side, it becomes warmer and drier, creating a rain shadow effect where little precipitation falls and creating arid or desert-like conditions.
A rainshadow is a dry area on the leeward side of a mountain range. It receives significantly less precipitation compared to the windward side due to the mountain blocking moisture-laden air. This creates a rain shadow effect, where the leeward side experiences drier conditions and often desert-like landscapes.

The Mojave Desert is in the rainshadow of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. It is also at a latitude that is generally under high atmospheric pressure that suppresses thunderstorm development.
Yes, they are called rainshadow deserts because the mountains prevent atmospheric moisture from coming into the desert.
