leeward
The windward side is cooler due to wind-chill.
The climate on the leeward side of a mountain differs from that on the windward side mostly in
leeward
The side of a mountain facing away from wind is the leeward, drier side, called the rain shadow.Leeward SlopesThe sheltered side of a mountain is known as the 'lee' side, or leeward slopes.The leeward side of a mountain has very little wind and a dry climate. 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.
Rainfall on the windward and leeward sides of a mountain differ in the amount, whereby the windward side receives more rainfall.
it becomes a leeward.
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.
Actually the windward side has higher precipitation, the leeward side is a drier place
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.
