The Sun warms the ocean and evaporates the water. The water vaper then rises and condese back into little water droplets called coulds. Wind then blows these clouds along land until they are eventually stopped by a tall mountain. Unable to cross the peaks the clouds are trapped on one side and only rain on that side, leaving the other side dry.

What is The climate on the ocean side of a mountain?
The climate on the ocean side of a mountain is typically cooler and moister due to the mountain blocking warm, dry air from reaching that side. This can result in more precipitation and lower temperatures compared to the other side of the mountain.
What is an area on the dry sheltered side of a mountain that receives very little rain called?
That area is called a rain shadow. It occurs when moist air rises over a mountain, releases moisture on the windward side, and descends down the other side, resulting in a drier climate on the leeward side.
What is a rain shadow and what is the rain shadow effect?
when rain or snow falls the windward side of a mountain the side that faces wind direction gets most of the rain or snow and the leeward side of a mountain the side that faces away from the wind gets less rain it is said to be in a rain shadow .
What type of climate is usually found on the leeward side of a mountain range?
A dry climate like a desert or semi-arid climate is typically found on the leeward side of a mountain range. This is because as air rises over the windward side, it cools, causing precipitation. By the time it descends on the leeward side, the air is dry, resulting in arid conditions.
What dry region forms back of the mountain?
A rain shadow desert forms on the back side of a mountain range as moist air gets forced to rise over the mountains, cool and condense, releasing precipitation on the windward side. This leaves a dry, rain-shadowed region on the leeward side of the mountains.
Why the windwards side of the mountain gets more rain than the leeward side?
Well the lee ward sind of the mountain is like a cowboy going up a desert and the lee ward is the side that gets all the rain because the cowboy stays on the leward side the windward side had the word wind in it so that means that that side of the mountain gets rain
When the air rises over the mountain which side of the mountain is dry and which side is warm?
The dry side of a mountain is called the leeward side. This is the side away from the wind. The dry area is known as a rain shadow.
What side of the mountain is always wet?
The wet side of the mountain is called the windward side. The dry side of the mountain is called the leeward side.
Which is the dry side of the mountain?
Rainshadow
What is The climate on the ocean side of a mountain?
The climate on the ocean side of a mountain is typically cooler and moister due to the mountain blocking warm, dry air from reaching that side. This can result in more precipitation and lower temperatures compared to the other side of the mountain.
What is a rian shodow?
Is a dry side of a mountain.
Why is it dry on the leeward side of a mountain?
rain shadow
What is the dry region on the leeward side of a mountain called?
The dry region on the leeward side of a mountain is called a rain shadow. As moist air is forced up and over the mountain, it cools and releases precipitation on the windward side, leaving the leeward side with significantly less moisture and resulting in a rain shadow effect.
Why is the leeward slope of a mountain dry?
The leeward side of a mountain is dry because as air ascends the windward side, it cools and releases moisture as precipitation, leaving less moisture to travel over the mountain to the leeward side, resulting in a rain shadow effect. This creates dry conditions on the leeward slope of the mountain.
Is leeward dry?
Yes, the leeward side of a mountain range is typically dry because it is sheltered from prevailing winds, preventing moisture from reaching it. This causes a rain shadow effect, resulting in dry conditions on the leeward side.
What type of climate is expected on the leeward side of the mountain range?
Dry.
Is the windward mountain side dry?
Actually the windward side has higher precipitation, the leeward side is a drier place
