How does Great Dividing range Influence?

geographically and climatically on Australia the GDR stops the humid airstream from pacific ocean from getting into the inner landmass of the continent of Australia, forming totally different precipitation on the 2 slopes of the mountain range,with much more rainfall on the eastern slope than the western side. the precipitation also influences the vegetation of the two slopes,with the eastern slope covered with forests and the other with low bushes. Also some of the most spectacular waterfalls in Australia lie along the GDR as a result of the influence it has on the landscape. GDR formed the high structure of areas along the eastern coaseline of Australia, with the peak of the highest mountain of the range being the highest point of the continent of Australia


Why are the climates different on opposite sides of a mountain range?

This phenomenon is known as the rain shadow effect. As moist air is forced to rise over a mountain range, it cools and releases precipitation on the windward side. By the time the air descends on the leeward side, it is drier and has lost much of its moisture, resulting in a drier climate on that side of the mountain range.


When looking at 2 mountain ranges how can you tell which is older?

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.
