A rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side of a mountain range that is protected from the prevailing winds. Prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular location on the Earth. The protected side of a mountain range is also called the lee side or the down-wind side.
Some examples of rain shadow deserts in North America include:
The dry basins east of the Cascade Range in Washington and OregonThe Great Basin of Nevada and Utah, east of the Sierra Nevada mountain rangeThe Colorado Front Range, east of the Rocky Mountains
