The largest rain shadow in the world is the one created by the Andes Mountains in South America. As moist air from the Pacific Ocean rises over the Andes, it cools and loses moisture as precipitation on the windward side. This leads to arid conditions on the leeward side, known as the Atacama Desert, which is one of the driest places on Earth. The significant elevation and expanse of the Andes contribute to the vastness of this rain shadow effect.
