Rain Shadow Effects

Rain Shadow Effects is a climatological phenomenon in which a mountain range causes a significant reduction in precipitation on its leeward side, resulting in drier conditions relative to the windward side due to orographic lifting and subsequent moisture depletion of air masses.
