On the windward side of the mountain you would expect what?
MommyStarkfb0667
The windward side of the mountain has most of the precipitation. This happens because it gets colder the higher you go. As the air cools off, it reaches its dew point temperature,and the moisture in the air condenses to form clouds, and eventually rain, or snow.

What happens on the windward side of a mountain?
the windward side gets lot of rainfall
Which side of the mountain is considered windward?
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.
How does a mountain range in the path of prevailing winds affect precipitation on either side of the mountains?
The prevailing winds will force the clouds to climb when they reach the mountain range. As the clouds rise they drop their moisture. So the windward side of the mountain will get rain, and the leeward side of the mountain will be drier.
What is the definition of windward?

Windward and leeward side of a mountain?
The windward side of a mountain is typically the west side of the mountain, receiving the various weather as weather moves west to east. The leeward side of a mountain opposes the windward side, making it the east side of the mountain, receiving little weather, blocking weather (rain) and warming air rapidly as it moves down this side of the mountain. The leeward side of mountains causes deserts, dry places, little rain, etc., for it releases warm air unto these places, and blocks weather (rain) from moistening them (I.E. Las Vegas, etc. on the eastern side of the mountain ranges).

This is called the mountain's rain shadow. In the northern hemisphere, this is usually the eastern side of the mountain. Leeward means the side which the wind doesn't blow on. The opposite is windward, which is the side of the mountain that the wind blows against.Its the Rain Shadow.
