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.

Answer
When mountains of uplands act as barriers to air flow, forcing the air to ascend, moist air moving upslope cools adiabatically, producing clouds and precipitation.
