What is a dry area on the lee side of the mountain that forms as air descends and is warmed by compression called?
That area is called a rain shadow. It forms due to the moisture in the air being released on the windward side of the mountain, leaving the leeward side drier.
Is a large piece of flat land called a mountain desert or plain?

The steps in the rain shadow effect?
A rain shadow is a dry area on the lee side of a mountainous area. The mountains block the passage of rain-producing weather systems casting a "shadow" of dryness behind them. As shown by the diagram to the right, the warm moist air is "pulled" by the prevailing winds over a mountain. Then it condenses and precipitates and the dry air moves forward leaving a rain shadow behind the mountain.
Do rain shadows have clouds and rain?
Rain shadows occur when moist air rises over a mountain, causing precipitation on one side, leaving little moisture to the other side, resulting in a drier area called a rain shadow. While rain shadows can have clouds, they typically have minimal precipitation, so they receive less rain compared to the windward side of the mountain.

What is an area behind a mountain that receives a little rain?
The area behind a mountain that receives little rain is known as a rain shadow. This phenomenon occurs when moist air rises over the mountain, cools, and loses moisture as precipitation on the windward side. As the air descends on the leeward side, it becomes drier and warmer, leading to significantly reduced rainfall in the rain shadow region. This can create arid or semi-arid conditions, often resulting in distinct vegetation and ecosystems.
