Question

The windward side of mountains receive more rainfall than leeward side ...give reasons

Answer 1

Air is being pushed up in windward side, cools and condenses the water vapour , due which heavy rain falls.

Moisture has been wrung out on leeward side and air becomes warm due to descending motion which evaporates the water molecules. Therefore rain is less.

OR

Windward side is subject to the prevailing winds containing enough moisture.When due to the convective currents warm air rises up at a certain height it is cooled down below a certain point and hence,causes precipitation,while as on leeward side air descends down which is dry and some times hot, lacking moisture and hence leeward side is mostly dry.

Answer 2

Because by the time the air mass reaches the summit most of the moisture has been lost.Hence, the leeward side will be dry and the windward side will be wetter(wet).
