Mountain ranges have more precipitation on one side than the opposite because as the moist air rises and cools, the water vapor condenses and precipitates. The result is often a dry steppe or even a desert on the one side, and a lush forest or even a rainforest on the opposite side. Examples include the Rockies, the Andes, and the Himalayas.
