Best Answer

Marine west coast climates have abundant precipitation because humid air from the Pacific Ocean hits the western slopes of the Coastal Ranges. The air rises up the slopes of the mountains, and it cools. As the air cools, large amounts of rain or snow fall on the western slopes. The eastern slopes lie in the rain shadow of the mountains and receive little precipitation.
