If one side of the mountain has a lot of water, and there is a really high mountain range, then the water can't get over top, then the rain stays on the one side.
Hope this helps :)
Please recommend me :)
Usually, yes.
Convert them to one or the other. Your answer will usually be more accurate if you're adding fractions.
An anteroom is a small waiting area that usually leads to one or more other rooms.
Yes, Alaska has more than ten inches of precipitation. Depending on location in Alaska the preciptiation varies. Anchorage 16.08 inches, Barrow 4.16 inches, Bethel 16.18 inches, Fairbanks 10.34 inches, Homer 25.45 inches, Juneau 58.33 inches, Kodiak 75.35 inches, Nome 16.56 inches, Valdez 67.41 inches. Alaska annual precipitation average is 22.70 inches.
Airplanes fly faster than cars travel. Usually big commercial planes travel over 550 miles an hour, so that is 10X what your car usually travels. Airplanes also have the advantage of going in straight lines and crossing oceans and mountain ranges.
Your mom fool!
The coastal plain is most likely to have the least precipitation as it is located farthest from the ocean where most of the moisture comes from. The leeward side of a mountain typically receives less precipitation as it is in the rain shadow of the mountain.
The land on the windward side of a mountain tends to be wetter, as moist air is forced upwards and cools, leading to precipitation. On the leeward side, the land tends to be drier as the air descends and warms, causing it to lose moisture. This creates a rain shadow effect, where one side of the mountain receives more precipitation than the other.
Yes, that is acid precipitation, but it is more usually called acid rain.
The precipitation does NOT cause the rise or fall in the barometer. However precipitation is more usually associated with an atmospheric depression (a cyclone) and thus a fall in the barometer will usually FORETELL precipitation.
This is true because as air is forced to rise over the mountain range, it cools and condenses, leading to the formation of clouds and precipitation. This phenomenon is known as orographic precipitation.
mountain bikes have thicker and larger tires. They usually have more heavy duty springs.
if you are on the windward side of a mointain range, you get colder weahter and more precipitation. if you are on the leeward side of a mountain range, oyu get warmer weater and less precipitation
Warm air holds more moisture than cold air. When the air has reached "saturation point" (ie. it cannot hold any more moisture), it is more likely to cause precipitation as the oversaturated air forms moisture droplets that fall as precipitation. One of the major causes of precipitation is when warm air cools rapidly (for example, when it rises after hitting a mountain front or other landmass). As the warm air cools, it loses its ability to retain moisture and becomes saturated, thus creating precipitation.
Usually but it depends which mountain
Generally, the mountains receive more precipitation than does a desert so more plants are able to grow there.
Mountains have two effects on precipitation. These are the rain shadow effect and the orographic effect. These both cause the type and amount of precipitation to change because the air is forced higher up.
