yes i it
What does a fault block mountain look like?
A fault block mountain has one steep side.
Why does one side of a mountain range have significantly less precipitation than the other side?
One side of a mountain range will have significantly less precipitation than the other side due to the height of the mountain. The clouds that carry the water for precipitation, may be blocked by the tall mountains.
What is less rainfall on one side of a mountain?
rain shadow
Why one side of a mountain usually has more precipitation than the other side?
There are a number of reasons, the most obvious is that all the rain may have fallen on the front portion of the mountain, leaving little or no moist air to reach the other side of the range. Clouds from in bands of cool air where the moisture can condense. It is also possible that an inversion level may exist, this means a large body of warm air sits on top of the cloud layer, and the layer becomes trapped agains the mountain and warm air (above it).

Why is normal farming not possible in mountain region?
Several factors, for one, if you're on the wrong side of the mountain you could have a desert climate on your side. If you're on the other side you get a lot of water. Farming on the mountain itself is difficult because of the change in altitude and how cold it gets. The higher up on a mountain you go the less vegetation you'll find.
Is a mountain with forests on one side and desert on the other is exhibiting evidence of the rain shadow effect?
Yes it is. See diagram above to explain why.
How do convection currents form downdrafts in deserts near tall mountain ranges?
Warm air expands and rises from the base on one side of the mountain. It cools and contracts in the clouds above the mountain and sinks back down but on the desert side of the mountains. This way both sides of the mountain are heated properly.
What is one factor that affects the location of deserts and rain forests?
One factor is the rain shadow effect that creates a rainforest on one side of a mountain and a desert on another, due to high pressuer air and moist cloud.
How can you get from one side of a mountain to the other?
There are basically three ways to get to the other side of a mountain. If a tunnel is present, you can go through. If not, it's either go over by going up one side and down the other, or going around the mountain to get to the other side.
Why does on side of a mountain usually have more precipitation than the other side?
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 :)
