No, not really. Most mountains lie further inland, and when hurricanes make landfall, they generally lose strength and fall apart. While some of the affects of a hurricane may be felt on the leeside of a mountain, the hurricane itself would not generally actually make it to the mountains. This is intended of course in mainland type situations. On islands such as those in the Caribbean where there are smaller mountains, many people will evacuate coastal areas to seek shelter higher up the mountains where it is safer to wait out the storm.
What else can I help you with?
What happens when when cool damp air approaches a mountain range?
The cool damp air is forced to rise when it encounters the mountain range. As it rises, it cools and condenses, leading to the formation of clouds and precipitation on the windward side of the mountain. This process is known as orographic lift.
What happens on the leeward side of a mountain range?
deserts
What happens when earths plate collide?
Over time, they form a mountain range
What happens When the mountain range that winds through earth's ocean is called the?
the Mid-Atlantic Ridge
When a moving air mass encounters a mountain range what does it do?
When a moving air mass encounters a mountain range, it is forced to rise, leading to a process known as orographic lift. As the air ascends, it cools and loses moisture, often resulting in precipitation on the windward side of the mountains. Conversely, the leeward side typically experiences drier conditions, creating a rain shadow effect. This phenomenon can significantly impact local climates and ecosystems.
What happens monsoons hit the Himalayan mountain range?
Wind and rain are redirected to the east, to Southeast Asia.
What mountain range is found on antarctica?
The main mountain range in Antarctica is the Transantarctic Mountain Range.
Is Himalayas mountain range the longest mountain range in the world?
No, the Andes are the longest mountain range.
What is larger a mountain belt or a mountain range?

What mountain range is mammoth mountain?
The Sierra Nevada Mountain range
How many miles does a hurricane grow to?
Hurricanes can vary significantly in size, but their diameters typically range from about 100 to 500 miles across. The most intense hurricanes can have wind radii extending even further. The overall size of a hurricane is influenced by various factors, including its intensity and the environmental conditions it encounters.
Match mountain range with its type of formation?
