Rain shadows can affect the distribution and characteristics of biomes. When mountains block the movement of moist air, a rain shadow is created on the leeward side of the mountain, resulting in drier conditions. This can lead to the formation of different biomes, such as deserts or grasslands, depending on the amount of rainfall received.
