Question

what does orographic rains mean ??​

Answer 1

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 2

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.
