The land on the windward side of a mountain tends to be wetter, as moist air is forced upwards and cools, leading to precipitation. On the leeward side, the land tends to be drier as the air descends and warms, causing it to lose moisture. This creates a rain shadow effect, where one side of the mountain receives more precipitation than the other.
