first water evaporates mostly from oceans, then the wind carries the moist air inland, then the moist air cools as the wind pushes it up the mountain, then as it condense causing rain on the windward side of the mountain, then as the air reaches the leeward side of the mountain it warms and falls and then last but not least the warmer air produces a rain shadow on the opposite side of the mountain
