Precipitation relies on the evaporation of the water from the soil. There is less rainfall in the desert areas while there is more rainfall in the tropical areas.

The windward side of the mountain is where the windward side of the mountain has an ocean climate condition whereas the leeward side has a dry climate.
This happens because of the dry air lapse rate.
When a parcel of air rises it cools and as it goes down it does the opposite the parcel of air warms and so it will have more precipitation.
