Rainshadows occur on the leeward side of mountains where the air loses moisture as it rises and cools on the windward side, resulting in dry conditions on the opposite side of the mountain range. This phenomenon creates areas of low precipitation and can lead to desert-like climates or semi-arid conditions in rainshadow areas. Examples include areas like the Great Basin in the United States and the Gobi Desert in Asia.
