How do landforms and land masses affect precipitation?
Rain clouds are often forced to rise as winds blow them towards landforms like mountains. Clouds rising are unable to hold their water, so it falls as precipitation on the windward side of mountains.
What is the name for rain formed by clouds rising over mountains and hills?
orographic lifting
What type of environment is directly east of the mountains?
Arid to desert. This is in the rain shadow, so all the rain falls on the west side of the mountains and very dry conditions ensue on the east side of the mountains.
Why rising air is needed to produce rain?
Rising air contains water vapor which, when reaches a high and cold altitude, creates liquid water which then falls out of clouds in the form of rain (or snow)
Are the eastern mountains drier than the western mountains?
In California, most precipitation falls on the western sides of mountains. As wet air blows in from the Pacific Ocean, its pushed up the mountains. The air cools as it is pushed up. Clouds form, and rain or snow falls.
Why is the west side of the Great Dividing Range dry?
Because all the rain falls on the eastern side. I think this is called orographic rainfall. The moist air coming from the sea - Tasman in this case - rises when it reaches the mountains and the air cools and the rain is formed and falls on the eastern side of the mountains.
What is like weather on earth?
Weather on Titan, a moon that orbits Saturn. is like weather on earth. Both have a substance that evaporates rising into the atmosphere condenses as it cools and falls as rain does,flowing into low areas and collecting in lakes.
Why do rain shadows form?
Mountain ranges force moist air upward and the rain then falls on the windward side of the mountains forming a rain shadow on the leeward side. See the image above.
Why are deserts found on the leeward mountain renges?
The mountains act as a barrier to atmospheric moisture from crossin the mountain to the leeward side. The rain falls instead on the windward side forming a rain shadow desert on the leeward side of the mountains.

How much rain falls each year in Tibet?

How do mountains affect the water cycle?
When winds blow rain-bearing clouds towards mountains the clouds are forced to rise. As atmospheric pressure becomes lower the clouds are forced to drop their rain. This is why rain generally falls on the windward side of a mountain range. This precipitation is an essential part of the water cycle.
