Why does the desert have a low rainfall?
Mountain ranges can block the flow of humid air to the leeward side and force the rain to fall on the windward side, forming a rain shadow desert. See the above image.
Where do rain shadows form?
Rain Shadows form on the leeward side of some mountain ranges. The mountains block the flow of moist air and force it to condense and fall as rain on the windward side of the mountain. See the diagram above.
How do mountains and oceans create deserts?
Mountains can block the flow of atmospheric moisture causing rain to fall on the windward side of the mountains. The leeward side is left dray forming a rain shadow desert. See the image above.
What does it mean to say that the desert is in the rain shadow of a mountain?
Mountain ranges can block the flow of moisture from crossing into the interior of a continent. The rain is forced to fall on the windward side of the mountains and little moisture falls on the leeward side and causes a rain shadow desert to form. See the above diagram.
How do mountains affect rain shadow deserts?
Some mountain ranges block the flow of moisture from reaching the interior of a continent. The mountains force the humid air upward on the windward side of the mountain causing the rain to fall on that side and leaving little moisture to fall on the leeward side forming a rain shadow desert. See the diagram above.
What is the line that separates the two basins called?
The line that separates two basins is called a watershed or drainage divide. It refers to the high land or ridge that directs the flow of water into different river systems or basins. Rain falling on one side of the watershed will drain into one basin, while rain on the other side will flow into another.
Does the rain flow out of the spout eaisly?
no, it does not flow out of the spout eaisly
What it mean that a desert is in the rain shadow of a mountain?
Many deserts are the result of mountain ranges blocking the flow of moisture from an ocean. The moist air is forced upward on the leeward side where the water in the air condenses and falls as rain or snow. The air, now dry, passes to the leeward side of the mountain range and a rain shadow desert forms. See the image above.
What geographical features prevent rain from reaching the desert?
Mountain ranges can block the flow of atmospheric moisture from passing to the leeward side of the range causing a rain shadow desert to form. See the image above,
How do mountain ranges aid in the formation of deserts?
Mountain ranges may block the flow of humid air from the ocean from reaching the interior of a continent forcing rain to fall on the windward side. This may form a rain shadow desert on the leeward side of the range. See the image above.
What is side ways?
its ways the side
What is surface flow?
Surface flow is when water from the rain runs on the surface into the ocean.
