Answer:
The high rainfall in the western part of
the European continent is caused by the
moisture-laden winds from the Atlantic
Ocean
These winds travel from the west side of
the European continent to the east.
However, due to the mountain ranges on
the western part of the continent, the
moisture laden winds get obstructed and
cause orographic rainfall in this region
Due to this, the eastern part of the
European continent falls under the rain-
shadow region of these winds
As a result, the amount of high rainfall in the
western part of the European continent
reduces in the eastern part.
