the wind and rain mixed together makes a powerful force that over millions of years can erode the mountain side down. In dry areas there is less rain but there is wind. The wind can push sand and other objects against mountains also eroding the mountain slowly.

What are some areas where mountain barriers might be a factor affecting the climate in Southwest Asia?
Two of the main areas that mountain barriers might affect the climate are in Iran and Turkey. In Southwest Asia the climate is mostly arid, but looking in certain parts of Iran where the Elburz Mountains are located the climate there seems to be Mediterranean. Also along the barrier of the Zagros Mountains the climate is Semiarid and Mediterranean. Then in Turkey where the Pontic Mountains are located the climate is then again Mediterranean.
Do wind turbines work on mountains?
Yes, they do. Mountains can be quite breezy. There are a number of problems, however. Construction in mountainous areas is time-consuming and expensive, particularly for transmission lines to bring the power down to populated areas (there isn't much power demand in the mountains). Also, residents may object to the incongruity of a wind turbine in the natural landscape. A small wind turbine might be a very good idea for a self-sufficient mountain lodge that is far from the grid.
