Hey......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. Wind and moist air is drawn by the prevailing winds towards the top of the mountains, where it condenses and precipitates before it crosses the top. The air, without much moisture left, advances across the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow".

Explanation:

As a result, condensation takes place and rainfall occurs. In this type of presentation, the windward slope of the mountain receives maximum rain and the leeward slope remains generally drier and is known as the rain shadow area.
