What is a rain shadow, and why does it happen?
Solution
The warm and moist air reaches goes up the elevations of the land. When the rain-producing
weather systems hit the mountain, the mountains block it. The moist air is condensed at the tip of
the mountain precipitates out, while the other side of the mountain receives dry air. This is
known as “rain shadow.”
