More rain comes to the range that is in line with the wind. Air starts to rise when it begins to come in contact with the Dividing Range. The opposite side or the side without the prevailing range receives less rainfall as a result. Air is falling rather than rising on this side of the range. Which side of the range either has or does not have the prevailing range will either receive a lot of rainfall or very little.
