what is different between the windward slope and leeward slope?
Answers
Answer:
Windward is the direction upwind from the point of reference, alternatively the direction from which the wind is coming. Leeward is the direction downwind (or downward) from the point of reference.
The leeward region of mountains generally remains dry as compared to the windward. The side of a ship that is towards the leeward is its lee side. If the vessel is heeling under the pressure of the wind, this will be the "lower side"

Explanation:
An island's windward side faces the prevailing, or trade, winds, whereas the island's leeward side faces away from the wind, sheltered from prevailing winds by hills and mountains
n the latter case, the windward side is that side of an island subject to the prevailing wind, and is thus the wetter side (see orographic precipitation). The leeward side is the side protected by the elevation of the island from the prevailing wind, and is typically the drier side of an island.
lee ward side is the drier side or otherwise the side which gets no wind becoz of the presence of a mountain i.e. the mountains just block the wind..while windward side gets wind becoz. of its presence in the opp. side of the lee ward side .
