Answer:

Rain shadow

Step-by-step explanation:

Climate is the average weather condition of a place over a long period of time.

The image shows a rain shadow effect around a mountainous region. The type of rainfall controlled this way is known as an orographic rainfall.

  • On the leeward side which is the opposite side of where the rain cloud forms, there is dryness and lack of rainfall.
  • As moist air rises along the edge of the windward side, cloud forms.
  • This windward side receives a significant amount of rainfall
  • The windward side is hit with cold and dry wind and it is barren.
