Is a mountain with forests on one side and desert on the other is exhibiting evidence of the rain shadow affect?
Yes, a mountain with forests on one side and desert on the other is exhibiting evidence of the rain shadow effect. As moist air rises over the mountain, it cools and condenses, leading to precipitation on the windward side, which supports forest growth. Once the air descends on the leeward side, it warms and dries out, resulting in arid conditions and the formation of a desert. This contrast in ecosystems is a classic example of the rain shadow effect.

What is the rain shadow effect and how does it effect the leeward and windward side?
The rain shadow effect refers to a dry area on the leeward side of a mountain caused by the blocking of moisture from prevailing winds. As air rises over the windward side, it cools, expands, and releases precipitation. This leaves little moisture for the leeward side, resulting in a rain shadow desert.
