Answer:

Rain shadow effect

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The mountain produces an orographic effect that acts as barriers to the incoming moisture-laden winds and pushes them upwards and causes them to rain on the western side i.e windward side of the mountain and the eastern side of the leeward side get no or low rainfall acting as a rain-shadow zone.
