1 What does wind do as it goes up and over a mountain range?

2 What is the climate on the windward side of a mountain range like?

3 What is the climate on the leeward side of a mountain like?

4 What are rain shadow deserts?

5 What are the characteristics (wind, precipitation, vegetation) seen on the windward side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains?

6 What are the characteristics (wind, precipitation, vegetation) seen on the leeward side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains?

Answer 1

1-As winds rise up the windward side of a mountain range, the air cools and precipitation falls.

2-Mountains and mountain ranges can cast a rain shadow. As winds rise up the windward side of a mountain range, the air cools and precipitation falls.

3-Mountains and mountain ranges can cast a rain shadow. As winds rise up the windward side of a mountain range, the air cools and precipitation falls. On the other side of the range, the leeward side, the air is dry, and it sinks.

4-Rain shadow deserts are formed because tall mountain ranges prevent moisture-rich clouds from reaching areas on the lee, or protected side, of the range.

5-Mountains and mountain ranges can cast a rain shadow. As winds rise up the windward side of a mountain range, the air cools and precipitation falls. On the other side of the range, the leeward side, the air is dry, and it sinks. So there is very little precipitation on the leeward side of a mountain range.

6-Mountains and mountain ranges can cast a rain shadow. As winds rise up the windward side of a mountain range, the air cools and precipitation falls. On the other side of the range, the leeward side, the air is dry, and it sinks. So there is very little precipitation on the leeward side of a mountain range.
