The Sun warms the ocean and evaporates the water. The water vaper then rises and condese back into little water droplets called coulds. Wind then blows these clouds along land until they are eventually stopped by a tall mountain. Unable to cross the peaks the clouds are trapped on one side and only rain on that side, leaving the other side dry.
