          6. What Is The Rain Shadow Effect?

          5. Description

          Often times, mountains stand as barriers to clouds so as to prevent precipitation from falling on certain sides of them. This phenomenon is the result of the warm moist air that rises accompanied by prevailing winds at the tops of mountains.

          The warm air mass is pushed upwards to higher altitudes to produce rain or showers, and when it passes over a mountain it cools down.

          Rain shadow effect simple definition

          As it hurdles the top of a mountain, it quickly dries up and goes down the other side of a mountain, gaining back its warm mass which sucks up moisture as it travels downwards. As a result of the removal of moisture, the area becomes a dry region devoid of further precipitation by the action of the warm, moist air.

          4. The Interplay of Climate and Terrain

          When high terrain and climate interact, a rain shadow always seems to affect a region. The earth has regular movements of "prevailing winds" that go around the equator. These winds are called the "trade winds", a
