Answer:

I hope this will help u

Step-by-step explanation:

A rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side of a mountain range that is protected from the prevailing winds. ... As the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. On this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of rain or snow
