Answer:
The Leeward side is the wind protected side of a mountain. Why are leeward sides of mountains drier than windward? By the time the air gets to the leeward side of the mountain it has already lost some of its moisture. Many of the deserts of the world are formed because of the lack of moisture blocked by the mountains.
