5. Why do mountain areas experience
more rainfall
Answers
Explanation:
❤️❤️Mountains can have a significant effect on rainfall.
When air reaches the mountains, it is forced to rise over this barrier.
As the air moves up the windward side of a mountain, it cools,
and the volume decreases.
As a result, humidity increases and orographic clouds and precipitation can develop.❤️❤️
Answer:
Why do mountain areas experience more rainfall?
Answer to your question
They receive more rainfall than low lying areas because the temperature on top of mountains is lower than the temperature at sea level.
Winds carry moist air over the land. When air reaches the mountain, it rises because the mountains are in the way. As the air rises, it cools, and because cool air can carry less moisture than warm air, there is usually precipitation (rain).
