As air descends on the leeward side of a mountain range, it undergoes adiabatic heating, which means it warms up due to the increase in pressure as it sinks. This process often leads to drier conditions, as the air loses moisture on the windward side and becomes warmer and less humid on the leeward side. Consequently, this can create a rain shadow effect, resulting in arid or semi-arid conditions in the areas immediately beyond the mountains.
