What are rain shadows used for?
As a simple example: a tall mountain near the sea. The prevailing wind off the sea carries a lot of rain water. On reaching the mountain, and in order to rise over the mountain, the clouds tend to rise meeting colder air at the higher altitudes. This means that it will rain, as cold air can't contain much water vapour. So the rain mainly falls on the side of the mountain facing the sea. Once over the mountain, there is very little rain left. So, on the side of the mountain away from the sea, a rain shadow is formed and very little rain will fall in the area of the shadow.

On what side of a mountain does the rain shadow occur?
The rain shadow occurs on the leeward side of the mountain, which is the side facing away from the prevailing winds. As the air rises and cools on the windward side, it releases most of its moisture as precipitation. By the time the air descends on the leeward side, it is drier, creating a rain shadow effect.
What name is given to the leeward side of the mountain and why?
A rain-shadow is on the leeward side of the mountain. Most of the rain will fall on the windward side, before the clouds can rise over the mountain. This means that there is little rain left for the leeward side.
