What else can I help you with?
What did bando make out of clay in your side of the mountain?
Bando Made pottery with the clay they found along the stream bank. The Pottery was for the Jam they made in "MY SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN"
How does erosion work?
When rain of a natural disaster occurs, it wears down the side of an object like a mountain or cliff side. Can you tell Me and my Bestie any thing else because we are doing a project! we will do anything and i mean anything for the answer
How far an avalanche can travel?
Avalanches can travel as far as a few metres, to the full lenght of a mountain side, depending on where the avalanche started, and how steep the mountain is.
How does tectonic plates affect culture?
Landforms such as mountains and plains affect the air flow of the atmosphere, which then shifts what weather will occur in what areas (which is basically the climate minus the ambient temperature). For instance, the Rocky Mountain range in the western United States and Canada cause the air currents flowing west to east from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic to elevate. The increased elevation causes the air temperature to drop, reducing the amount of moisture the air can hold. Typically the air coming in from the Pacific Ocean has a great deal of moisture, so when the air can no longer hold the moisture it falls as rain or snow on the western side of the mountain range. On the east side of the mountains, when the air comes back down from the heights, there is little precipitation and a semi-arid climate due to the precipitation shadow effect of the mountain range.
What word is used to describe the side of a mountain that faces the prevailing winds?
The windward side. Windward, the direction from which the wind is blowing; facing the wind. as opposed t leeward which is aka wind shadow, where air is not able to move material and allows it to accumulate and build up, think sand dune.
In the western United States, the movement of air causes clouds to release their moisture as rain on which side of mountain ranges?
The windward side of mountain ranges in the western United States is where clouds release their moisture as rain. As air rises up the mountain slope, it cools and condenses, leading to precipitation. The leeward side, or the rain shadow side, is relatively dry as the air descends and warms, inhibiting cloud formation and rainfall.
What side of the mountains do clouds release moisture?
Clouds typically release moisture on the windward side of mountains, where the air is forced to rise and cool, causing the moisture to condense and form precipitation. This process is known as orographic lift.
How does a mountain range in the path of prevailing winds affect precipitation in the either Side of mountain?
The prevailing winds will force the clouds to climb when they reach the mountain range. As the clouds rise they drop their moisture. So the windward side of the mountain will get rain, and the leeward side of the mountain will be drier.
True or False A rain shadow is the side of the mountain that has clouds or rain?
False. A rain shadow is the dry area on the leeward side of a mountain caused by the blocking of moisture-laden air by the mountain, leading to little or no precipitation. The side of the mountain with clouds and rain is the windward side.
How did mountains add desertification?
Due to the change in atmospheric conditions a mountain can cause, the windward side of the mountain received the rain while the leeward side of the mountain does not receive the moisture creating a desert landscape. As the moisture rises to overtake the mountain the clouds condense creating rain on the windward side which creates an atmosphere of little to no moisture on the leeward side of the mountain.
How does a mountain range in the path of prevailing winds affect precipitation on either side of mountains?
The prevailing winds will force the clouds to climb when they reach the mountain range. As the clouds rise they drop their moisture. So the windward side of the mountain will get rain, and the leeward side of the mountain will be drier.
In the western US the movement of the air causes clouds to release their moister as air on which side of mountain ranges?
The movement of air in the western US causes clouds to release their moisture on the windward side of mountain ranges. As the air rises up the mountain slope, it cools down and reaches saturation, leading to cloud formation and precipitation. The leeward side of the mountain, in contrast, experiences a rain shadow effect with drier conditions.
Would a desert form on the leeward side of a mountain if the air compressed and warmed?
No, deserts form on the leeward side of a mountain because the mountain blocks the flow of moisture and clouds forming a rain shadow desert.
When wind blows clouds over mountains how does rain normally fall?
As wind blows moist air up a mountain, it cools and condenses, forming clouds. As the clouds rise to higher altitudes, they release moisture in the form of rain or snow when they reach their dew point. This process, known as orographic lifting, causes precipitation to fall on the windward side of the mountain.
How does a mountain range in the path of prevailing winds affect precipitation on either side of the mountains?
The prevailing winds will force the clouds to climb when they reach the mountain range. As the clouds rise they drop their moisture. So the windward side of the mountain will get rain, and the leeward side of the mountain will be drier.
Why is there a contrast in climate in the either side of the rocky mountain?
As clouds get pushed up by the mountains the pressure drops and the clouds release their moisture in the form of precipitation. Once they get over the mountain tops they are relatively drained of their moisture causing desert like conditions on the other side of the range.
Explain why the land on the windward side of a mountain range is usually green and lush while the other side is usually drier.?
The land on the windward side of a mountain range is usually green and lush while the other side is usually drier because the clouds tend to pile up on the windward side. The clouds then drop their moisture before they cross the mountains, making the windward side wet and the other side dry.
