A rain shadow can sometimes be found on the Leeward side of a mountain. It's not unusual if a rain shadow transitions into a desert.
More rain generally falls on the windward side of a mountain range. This is because the air is being forced upward, where the water vapor cools and falls as rain.
It's called a rainshadow.

The longest mountain ranges is the Andes Mountains in South America. The mountain ranges stretch estimate is more than 5,000 miles.
An avalanche can be rock, dirt, or even snow that falls down a mountain slope.Another term is landslide (landslip). A more specific term is rockslide.

False! When two continental plates converge a mountain range is formed. This is what formed and is continuing to "build" the Himalayan mountain chain.Subduction zones form where oceanic crust converges with and is forced under continental crust, or younger more buoyant oceanic crust.

This is true because as air is forced to rise over the mountain range, it cools and condenses, leading to the formation of clouds and precipitation. This phenomenon is known as orographic precipitation.
Which mountain range are you talking about? Please be more specific.
The capital is Juneau, on the lower Alaskan coast. It is not in a mountain range, but it is blocked by a mountain range making it more easily accessible by water.

more and more snow falls on it and the snow gets too much weight on it and falls
The Ocean Ridge (also known as Mid-ocean ridge), which runs more than 40,000 miles on the sea floor of five oceans is the longest mountain chain in the world. The longest mountain range on dry land is the Andes, which stretch 4300 miles through seven countries in South America.
A mountain range is a series of mountains that are geographically close together, forming a continuous chain. A mountain system consists of multiple mountain ranges that are interconnected or geologically related, encompassing a larger area than a single mountain range. While a mountain range typically refers to a specific linear formation of peaks, a mountain system is a more comprehensive term that includes various mountain ranges within a broader region.
The Rocky Mountains are a great mountain range in the western United States. The mountain range extends more than 3,000-miles from northern British Columbia to New Mexico.
Typically, the mountain range with more rugged terrain, higher elevation, more erosion, and fewer vegetation cover is older. Older mountain ranges tend to have more signs of weathering and erosion compared to younger ones. Geological dating techniques can also be used to determine the age of a mountain range.
