The Mississippi River borders Iowa on the eastern side, separating it from Illinois and Wisconsin. The Missouri River borders Iowa on the western side, separating it from Nebraska and South Dakota.
The Rocky Mountains border the western side of the city, while the Appalachian Mountains border the eastern side.
Yes, in many regions the eastern sides of mountains are drier than the western sides. This is because as air ascends on the windward (western) side, it cools and releases precipitation, creating a rain shadow effect. The descending air on the leeward (eastern) side is drier and results in less rainfall.
Yes, that's correct. This phenomenon, known as the rain shadow effect, occurs when prevailing winds pick up moisture as they move across the ocean towards the western side of the mountains. As the air rises and cools over the mountains, it releases most of its moisture on the western slopes, leaving the eastern side relatively dry. This leads to a stark contrast in precipitation levels between the two sides of the mountains in California.
Yes, in California, the eastern side of the mountains is typically drier than the western side due to the rain shadow effect. As moisture-laden air is forced to rise over the mountains, it cools, condenses, and releases precipitation on the western side. By the time the air descends on the eastern side, it is drier, resulting in less rainfall.
The border most aggressively contested was the Western Front. This border saw intense fighting during World War I, with both sides engaging in trench warfare and launching offensives to gain ground. The stalemate and high casualties experienced on the Western Front made it a focal point of fierce and prolonged conflict.

There are many states that have rivers on multiple sides, but only Iowa has river borders that go the entire length of two opposing sides. Iowa's Eastern border is the Mississippi River. The western border is the Missouri and Big Sioux Rivers. Illinois has the Mississippi river to its west, the Ohio River to the south and the Wabash River forms Illinois southeastern border. Kentucky has the Ohio River forming the entire northern border. The Mississippi on the west and the Tug Fork and Big Sandy Rivers on the Eastern border. Minnesota has the Red River forming about half of its western border. The Eastern border is formed mostly by the St. Croix and Mississippi rivers
The Rocky Mountains border the western side of the city, while the Appalachian Mountains border the eastern side.
On the eastern side of the country, it shares a border with England and on the western, northern and southern sides of the country it borders the Irish sea

A political entity like a country, city, county or kingdom exercises its authority over a particular area. The line which divides the land which is part of the entity from that which is not is called a border. A border surrounds the political entity on all sides, including the west. That part of the border which is on the western side is the western border. The border may correspond to a physical feature: the western border of the United States is the coast of the Pacific Ocean; the western border of Germany follows in part the course of the Rhine river.
No, most deserts are either mid-continent or on the western side.
No, most deserts are in the interior or western parts of continents.
The Mediterranean Sea surrounds Italy on its western, southern, and eastern sides.
Not completely: on three sides there is sea, but part of its southern border and its eastern side borders on other countries like Syria, Iraq and Georgia among others. Even a small part of its western side borders on Bulgaria and Greece
False. In California, most precipitation falls on the western sides of mountains due to the prevailing westerly winds carrying moisture from the Pacific Ocean. This phenomenon, known as orographic precipitation, causes the western slopes to be wetter while the eastern sides are typically drier.
