Question

How is a rain shadow formed

Answer 1

Explanation:

Prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. As the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. On this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of rain or snow. This dry air produces a rain shadow.

Answer 2

Rain shadow formation:

• During an Orographic rainfall, winds laden with moisture coming from the water bodies get obstructed by high reliefs and form rain shadow region on the other side.
• The air carries moisture laden winds flow to the landmasses and causes rainfall on one side of the lofty reliefs like mountains, plateaus, etc. after getting obstructed.
• On the contrary, the other side of the relief didn’t (or very low amount) receive of rainfall. This barren region is called rain shadow region.
