The windward side (as opposed to the leeward side). This is the side facing the prevailing wind, where the air is forced up the mountain where it must cool, condense, and precipitate out its moisture. As it passes the mountain it will sink, whereby it compresses and warms, which is not conducive to precipitation or even clouds.

What two ways does water vapor leave the gaseous state in the atmosphere?
Precipitation and condensation. Precipitation is rain, snow, hail, ect. Condensation are the little water droplets that form on the outside of a cold drinking glass on a hot and humid day.
Is severe weather caused by increasing or decreasing the pressure on an air mass?
Increasing air pressure generally means more clear skies and little precipitation.
What is the action for explaining the meaning of something?
Anything unknown, undetermined, or not specifically designated; a certain indefinite thing; an indeterminate or unknown event; an unspecified task, work, or thing., A part; a portion, more or less; an indefinite quantity or degree; a little., A person or thing importance., In some degree; somewhat; to some extent; at some distance.
Low ozone cities?
Any city that has little to no internal combustion engine traffic, or is not downwind from a fossil fuel powered power plant will have low ozone. These will be very small cities. Any city that has constant wind will have low ozone. These are usually located in mountain passes and will also be small.
What is a transparent material that refracts light rays?
A transparent material one that allows light to pass through with little absorption or distortion. If there is distortion, one might use the term translucent instead of transparent. More technically, one refers to a materials as being able to transmit light for a particular range of color as being transparent in that color range. Water is transparent for light in the range that the human eye can detect, but just outside that range, it becomes highly absorptive and would, if we could see, appear black. This is generally true for glass, air, salt and other materials which we would nominally characterize as transparent. Objects that absorb in a portion of the visible spectrum will transmit light that is a color formed from the portion of the spectrum that is not absorbed (portion that is transarent).
What portion mountain receives little precipitation?
rain shadow
What portion of the mountain received little precipitation?
The portion of the mountain that received little precipitation is typically the leeward side or the rain shadow area. As moist air rises over the mountain, it cools and loses moisture on the windward side, leading to heavy precipitation there. Once the air descends on the leeward side, it warms and becomes drier, resulting in significantly less rainfall. This phenomenon creates distinct ecological zones on either side of the mountain.
What portion of a mountain receives little precipatation?
The portion of a mountain that receives little precipitation is typically the leeward side, also known as the rain shadow area. As moist air rises over the mountain, it cools and loses moisture in the form of precipitation on the windward side. By the time the air descends on the leeward side, it is drier, resulting in significantly less rainfall and often leading to arid conditions.
What portion of a mountain receives little precipitation?
The leeward side of a mountain, also known as the rain shadow side, typically receives less precipitation because as air descends down the mountain, it warms and is not able to hold as much moisture. This results in decreased cloud formation and precipitation on the leeward side compared to the windward side.
What portion of mountains receives little precipitation?
rain shadow
What portion of a mountain receives little?
rain shadow
The effect of air losing moisture as it rises up a mountain slope resulting in significant precipitation on the windward side and very little precipitation on the leeward side is known as the?
THE LEEWARD SIDE IS HOTTER
How much light does the tropical rainforest get?
the canopy recieves very little sunlight
Does Antarctica have a lot of snow?
No. Antactica recieves very little snow as there is very little moisture there to produce it. However, what little snow does fall there does not melt.
What is it called when one side of the mountain range receives very little precipitation because the other side has created by the mountains?
This phenomenon is called a "rain shadow effect." When moist air is forced to rise over a mountain range, it cools and loses its moisture as precipitation on the windward side. As the air descends on the leeward side, it warms and becomes drier, creating arid conditions and little precipitation, known as a rain shadow.
Why are Pacific mountain ranges classified as having desert climates?
A desert climate refers to an area where little or no precipitation occurs. This means that some pacific mountain ranges can be classified as having a desert climate.
What zone has heavy precipitation and little winds?
The doldrums have heavy precipitation,little wind
