Why do deserts occur?
1, very little rain/snow over long periods of time 2, subtropical high pressure 3, the rainshadow effect
What effect causes dry areas or deserts to develop?
There are many different causes of aridity in deserts. One of them is because many deserts are located between the latitude of 20° and 40°, where there is consistent high pressure. Also, another cause of aridity in deserts is that deserts don't get much rain. It evaporates before it reaches the desert. ----------------------------------------------------------- Some factors that affect deserts are; Topography Albedo Atmospheric Stability Cold Ocean Currents Continentiality
Does the rain shadow effect cause natural desert formation?
Yes, the Sonoran Desert is a rain shadow desert. The Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico blocks most moisture from reaching the area.

What causes a rain shadow desert?
A rainshadow desert is an area of land that doesn't get a lot of rain due to tall mountain ranges. Therefore, the mountain is causing little rain to fall on the side of the mountain, which causes there to be a shadow behind the mountains. HA!!!
Are mountain with forests on one side and desert on the other is exhibiting evidence of the rain shadow effect?
yes i it
Is a mountain with forests on one side and desert on the other is exhibiting evidence of the rain shadow effect?
Yes it is. See diagram above to explain why.
Are a mountain with forests on one side and desert on the other is exhibiting evidence of the rain shadow effect?
Yes, a mountain with forests on one side and desert on the other is a classic example of the rain shadow effect. As moist air ascends one side of the mountain range, it cools and releases precipitation, creating lush forests. On the other side, the now dry air descends, warms, and absorbs moisture, creating a desert environment with little rainfall.
Is a mountain with forests on one side and desert on the other exhibiting evidence of the rain shadow effect?
yes i it
What is one factor that affects the location of deserts and rain forests?
One factor is the rain shadow effect that creates a rainforest on one side of a mountain and a desert on another, due to high pressuer air and moist cloud.
What was one effect that mountain ranges rain forests and river systems have had on latin America?
limit the development of transportation and communication systems
What side of a mountain range usually have deserts?
The side of a mountain range that usually faces away from prevailing winds is more likely to have deserts. This is because as the moist air rises over the mountain, it cools and loses its moisture, creating a rain shadow effect where the leeward side receives less rainfall, resulting in drier conditions and potential desert formation.
Where have rain shadows formed deserts?
The rainshadow effect is what creates deserts to the east of mountain ranges in the northern hemisphere. Because our weather systems move basically from west to east, when a storm hits a mountain range the air is forced to rise over the mountain. When air rises, it cools, condenses and most of the moisture falls as rain or snow. By the time the system gets over the mountain there isn't enough moisture left to cause rain, so you get a desert on that side of the mountain.
Deserts often form on the what side of mountains?
Deserts often form on the leeward side of mountains, which is the side that faces away from prevailing winds. As air rises over the windward side of the mountain, it cools and releases moisture, creating a rain shadow effect that results in arid conditions on the leeward side.
Participant's illness changes solely from the participants belief that the treatment will be effective exhibiting a?
placebo effect
What is the rain shadow effect associated with?
The rain shadow effect is associated with the process where moisture-laden air rises over a mountain range, cools, and releases precipitation on the windward side. As the air descends on the leeward side, it warms up and becomes dry, creating an area of reduced precipitation known as a rain shadow. This phenomenon often results in deserts or semi-arid regions on the leeward side of mountain ranges.
What effect would the presence of forests have on the water cycle?
Forests promote water cycle. They transpire.
