How does the Rain shadows effect climate?
A rain shadow is formed on the lee side of a mountain. Rain clouds hitting the weather-side may cause the rain to fall. As the clouds pass over the mountain, there is little rain left to fall on the lee side. Hence the rain shadow forms as a drier area.

What name is given to the leeward side of the mountain and why?
The name given to the leeward side of the mountain is the "rain shadow" side. The rain shadow side receives less precipitation compared to the windward side because the air is forced to rise and cool on the windward side, leading to condensation and rainfall. As the air descends on the leeward side, it warms and becomes drier, resulting in less rainfall.
