Which of the leeward islands in the Caribbean is a UK territory?
As per Wikipedia The Leeward Islands /ˈliːwərd/ are a group of islands situated where the northeastern Caribbean Sea meets the western Atlantic Ocean. On a map, they start with the Virgin Islands east of Puerto Rico and reach southeast to Dominica. In English, the term Leeward Islands refers to the northern islands of the Lesser Antilles chain. The more southerly part of this chain, starting with Martinique, is called the Windward Islands.
Would the north facing slope of a mountain in South Africa will receive more radiation than the south facing slope?
I don't know, and I don't care. Yes
What three islands are the west indies made up of?
Traditionally, there have been three groupings in the West Indies: The Greater Antilles, the Windward Islands, and the Leeward Islands. The Greater Antilles are the four largest islands of Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. Hispaniola is divided between the nations of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. The much smaller Windward and Leeward islands all lie south and east of the Greater Antilles, an archipelago extending like links in a chain from the several Virgin Islands in the north down to Grenada. Various islands in this group have been sometimes been called Windward Islands, and other times defined as Leeward Islands, so the distinction is not always significant. Some of the islands in this archipelago include Barbados, Martinique, Antigua, St. Kitts-Nevis, Guadeloupe, St. Lucia, Dominica, and St Vincent, among others. The Dutch islands of Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao, along with the nation of Trinidad and Tobago, are all very close to the coast of South America, and frequently regarded more as parts of that continent than as parts of the West Indies. Many of these classifications are imprecise, affected as much by political and cultural factors as by geography.
Why mountain height is not more than 10 km?
because more stress would be exerted on the bottom of the mountain hence leading it to crush
What are at least 3 countries in the Lesser Antilles?
St.Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda, Anguilla, St.Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Montserrat, Trinidad and Tobago, Dominica, St.Lucia, Barbados, Guadeloupe, Martinique, St.Martin, St.Marten, Cuba, Jamaica, Haiti, Dominican Republic. I thinks that's all, and i think the have more.
What are the two sides called of mountain ranges?
The two sides of a mountain range are typically referred to as the windward side and the leeward side. The windward side faces the prevailing winds and receives more precipitation, while the leeward side is sheltered from the wind and tends to be drier.
Does the windward side of a mountain get more rainfall than the leeward side?
Usually, yes.
Which side of the mountain is considered windward?
It is the sloped side of a mountain that is colder and gets more rain. Why? Because the leeward side is the opposite of the windward side and is also dryer because when the clouds climb the mountain range (windward side) they loses all their water so there is none left for the leeward side.
How does the rainfall differ on the windward and leeward sides of a mountain-?
The windward side of a mountain is typically wetter and receives more rainfall due to the moist air being forced to rise and cool, causing precipitation. In contrast, the leeward side experiences a rain shadow effect, receiving much less rainfall as the air descends and warms, leading to drier conditions.
Where is more vegetation on the leeward side or the windward side?
on the leeward side
How does the climate on the leeward side of a mountain differ from the climate on the windward side of a mountain?
The leeward side of a mountain is typically drier and experiences a rain shadow effect, where the air loses moisture as it rises and cools over the mountain, leading to less precipitation. In contrast, the windward side of a mountain is usually wetter due to orographic lifting, where air is forced to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in more rainfall or snowfall.
What is windward and leeward side?
I do not know what you are talking about but here is some basic information about Leeward and Windward. Windward and leeward are two opposite words used on boats. Windward is the direction from which the wind is blowing at the time in question. Leeward is the direction downwind from the point of reference. Windward = the direction that the wind is coming from Leeward = the direction that the wind is going I hope you can figure out the answer from there I am sorry I don't know what you are talking about.
How does the rainfall differ on the windward and leeward sides of a mountain?
The windward side of a mountain typically receives more rainfall because as moist air rises up the mountain, it cools and condenses, leading to precipitation. On the leeward side, the air is drier and descends, which causes it to warm and retain less moisture, resulting in a rain shadow effect and less rainfall.
Why Windward sides of mountains receive more rainfall than the leeward sides?
because one side is cooler than the other
Is the windward or leeward side steeper on a sand dune?
The windward side of a sand dune is generally gentler and more gradual, while the leeward side is steeper. This steep slope on the leeward side, often referred to as the slip face, forms as sand is deposited on the windward side and then cascades down the leeward side due to gravity. As a result, the leeward side typically has a more pronounced angle of repose compared to the windward side.
Windward and leeward side of a mountain?
The windward side of a mountain is typically the west side of the mountain, receiving the various weather as weather moves west to east. The leeward side of a mountain opposes the windward side, making it the east side of the mountain, receiving little weather, blocking weather (rain) and warming air rapidly as it moves down this side of the mountain. The leeward side of mountains causes deserts, dry places, little rain, etc., for it releases warm air unto these places, and blocks weather (rain) from moistening them (I.E. Las Vegas, etc. on the eastern side of the mountain ranges).
What is the differences in climate on the leeward side of a mountain and the windward side?
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.
