The combination of mountain ranges and prevailing winds affects local weather (if not so much the climate). As moisture-laden winds come in from the ocean, the presence of a mountain range forces the air upward, into lower atmospheric pressures.

Answer:
How do mountains influence the climate of North America? North America has mountain chains running north-south that channel air flow into the midcontinent. There's a large cold land mass to the north and a large warm water body to the south, and no obstacles in between.
