What is a sentence with the word orographic effect?
Orographic effect is just a change in atmospheric conditions due to elevation, especially when mountains are involved.That storm is caused by orographic effect.We studied orographic effect in class.
How are dome shaped mountains formed?
Volcanic Activity
What is one of the primary reasons that mountains still exist?
New mountains are created through tectonic and volcanic activity
Rain shadow effect is associated with what?
mountains
Do earthquakes make mountains?
No.Mountains are the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Earthquakes are also the result of continental drift an volcanic activity. Thus the two go together but the earthquakes do not cause the mountains.
What effect do mountains have on storm activity?
Mountains can influence storm activity by forcing moist air to rise and cool, leading to cloud formation and precipitation. This can result in more intense storms and localized heavy rainfall on the windward side of the mountains. On the leeward side, a rain shadow effect may occur, leading to drier conditions.

What are the Effects of a solar storm?
One effect is the aurora borealis or Northern lights which are very beautiful this time of year. High electro magnetic activity.
How do air mass conditions ahead of the squall line support the development of new cells?
Favorable air mass conditions ahead of a squall line interact to subdue or increase storm activity. At times there is a buffering effect. At other times, there is a cumulative effect creating a super storm.
What is cause and effect of storm?
The cause of a storm is solar heating, the effect of a storm is to dissipate and distribute that heat round the planets biosphere.
What types of mountains are formed by volcanic activity?
Volcanic activity can form fold mountains or block mountains. Fold mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide. Block mountains are formed when fault block shifts.
Why is Kansas so windy?
Kansas is very windy because the Rocky Mountains have storm systems that interact with mountains. This makes low pressure system develop on the east side. Therefore, people feel the effect of the winds in Kansas.
What two types of mountains form by volcanic activity?
Volcanic activity can form fold mountains or block mountains. Fold mountains are formed when tectonic plates collide. Block mountains are formed when fault block shifts.
How are the mountains formed in Hawaii?
By volcanic activity.
What effect do your actions have on mountains?
POLLUTION, that's the effect.
Does mercury have volcanic or storm activity?
No. Mercury does not have volcanoes or storms.
Do the atlas mountains have volcanoes?
No, the Atlas Mountains do not have any active volcanoes. They are primarily formed by tectonic activity and uplift processes rather than volcanic activity.
