Answer:

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. ... The air, without much moisture left, advances across the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow".

Answer:

on leeward side the cold dry air starts to descend and to sink and compress making the winds warm up. This warming causes the moisture to evaporate making clouds disappear. these produce cloud and rainfall on the Windward side of the mountains but the leeward side stays shadowed and extremely dry
