What is the rain shadow of a mountain?

A rain shadow is a dry area on the leeward side of a mountain where precipitation is significantly reduced. As moist air moves up and over the mountain, it cools, causing the air to release most of its moisture as precipitation on the windward side. By the time the air reaches the leeward side, it has lost much of its moisture, resulting in drier conditions.
