Answer:

Orographic precipitation, rain, snow, or other precipitation produced when moist air is lifted as it moves over a mountain range. As the air rises and cools, orographic clouds form and serve as the source of the precipitation, most of which falls upwind of the mountain ridge.

\small\mathbb\purple{OROGRAPHIC\: RAINFALL}

The moisture- laden wind from the sea enters the land and moves upwards along the mountain slopes where it gets cooled and condensed to form clouds. When the windward sides of the mountain receive heavy rainfall , the leeward sides do not receive rain due to the descending dry air . This type of rainfall is known as orographic rainfall or relied rainfall .
