it looks very green ang filled with grass its just magnificent
leeward
Leeward is the side that is not exposed to wind and weather. The side that faces away from the wind.
The mountains act as a barrier to atmospheric moisture from crossin the mountain to the leeward side. The rain falls instead on the windward side forming a rain shadow desert on the leeward side of the mountains.
No, deserts form on the leeward side of a mountain because the mountain blocks the flow of moisture and clouds forming a rain shadow desert.
Mountains force the humid air from the sea to rise where the moisture condenses and falls as rain on the windward side of the mountains. The air passes to the leeward side but now lacks moisture forming a rain shadow desert. See the diagram above.
on the leeward side
A dry climate like a desert or semi-arid climate is typically found on the leeward side of a mountain range. This is because as air rises over the windward side, it cools, causing precipitation. By the time it descends on the leeward side, the air is dry, resulting in arid conditions.

leeward is the side that doesn't expose the side of the wind
The leeward side of a mountain is warm because as air moves up and over the mountain, it loses moisture and heat, resulting in warmer and drier air on the leeward side. This process is known as the rain shadow effect and contributes to the warmer temperatures experienced on the leeward side of the mountain.
The windward side of a mountain typically receives more precipitation due to orographic lifting, which results in cooler temperatures and more vegetation. In contrast, the leeward side, or the rain shadow side, receives less precipitation and tends to be drier with warmer temperatures, creating a desert-like environment.

rain shadows usually occur on the leeward side of the mountain ranges.

Leeward is the side that is not exposed to wind and weather. The side that faces away from the wind.
The side of a mountain facing away from wind is the leeward, drier side, called the rain shadow.Leeward SlopesThe sheltered side of a mountain is known as the 'lee' side, or leeward slopes.The leeward side of a mountain has very little wind and a dry climate. This is called the mountain's rain shadow. In the northern hemisphere, this is usually the eastern side of the mountain. Leeward means the side which the wind doesn't blow on. The opposite is windward, which is the side of the mountain that the wind blows against.Its the Rain Shadow.
