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.
More snow would be expected to fall on the windward side of the mountain than the leeward side. This is because the windward side of the mountain receives the most rain.
the windward slope is wetter. the leeward slope is drier. source: geosystems sixth edition by christopherson, page 213 by: josephine
Because the prevailing wind is forcing the water to go on the windward side of the mountain.
ok
Windward.
the direction of prevailing winds will affect how much water it carries.
Yes.
yes
Precipitation and temperature. And there are a couple more!
Rain clouds are often forced to rise as winds blow them towards landforms like mountains. Clouds rising are unable to hold their water, so it falls as precipitation on the windward side of mountains.
Factors that influence precipitation include air temperature (warmer air can hold more moisture), air pressure (low pressure systems tend to bring precipitation), wind patterns (can transport moisture to different regions), and proximity to bodies of water (water bodies can supply moisture to the air).
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.

Monsoon winds affect the climate of a region. Identify factors that influence temperature and precipitation. Latitude, altitude, distance from large bodies or water, climate, microclimate and ocean currents affect temperature and prevailing winds, mountains, and seasonal winds affect precipitation.
it depends on the movement of huge air masses. air masses are moved from place to place by prevaling windsPrevailing winds can move rain producing clouds into or out of an area, the jet stream controls most of the weather in the northern hemisphere.
Three factors that affect precipitation are, winds, the presence of mountains, and seasonal winds. Hope that helped (:
it affect from the sun of the earth
The prevailing winds that affect the Sahara Desert are what determine the precipitation. The dry air affects the moisture.
is it true
Yes.
