Answer:
Prevailing winds (sea breeze) from the ocean push warm moist air against the mountain & it moves up. As the moist air rises, it begins to get cooler and cooler due to the high altitude. ... Dry Air Since the air already lost its moisture, the humidity on this side is low & plants get very little water.
Step-by-step explanation:
The oceans influence climate by absorbing solar radiation and releasing heat needed to drive the atmospheric circulation, by releasing aerosols that influence cloud cover, by emitting most of the water that falls on land as rain, by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it for years t
