How does a mountain range in the path of prevailing winds affect precipation on either side of the mountain?
As prevailing winds rise up a mountain range, they cool and condense, leading to increased precipitation on the windward side. This phenomena is known as orographic precipitation. As the air descends on the leeward side, it warms and dries out, creating a rain shadow effect that results in decreased precipitation on that side of the mountain range.

This range acts as a barrier to the moist air masses, forcing them to rise and cool, resulting in precipitation on the windward side (northern side) and creating a rain shadow effect on the leeward side (southern side) of the mountains.
