How is rain shadow region formed?
Answers
A rain shadow is a dry area on the leeward side of a mountainous area (away from the wind). The mountains block the passage of rain-producing weather systems and cast a "shadow" of dryness behind them. Wind and moist air are drawn by the prevailing winds towards the top of the mountains, where it condenses and precipitates before it crosses the top. The air, without much moisture left, advances across the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow".
Answer:
This is how rain shadow region is formed
Explanation:
Moist air approaching from water bodies towards land gives more rainfall on the windward side of the mountain. When such winds, by crossing the mountain-top, go to the other side these winds are dry and the moisture holding capacity also increases. The leeward side of the mountain does, gets less rainfall and such area is called a rain shadow region.
