Answer:
Rain shadow zone.
Step-by-step explanation:
Due to the circulation of the Bermuda high which creates a humid south wind that blows to the Mexican gulf along the terrain in east of the Rockies while the pacific high creates a dry northerly circulation over east of the Sierras. This results in the very dry region which is blocked by the Pacific moisture and blocked by the Gulf moisture forming a rain shadow over the Rockies.
