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.
