Why can the leeward area be dry in orographic rainfall?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Air descends and warms there

Correct answer: B. In orographic rainfall, moist air is forced up the windward slope. As it rises, it expands and cools; condensation and precipitation remove much of its moisture. After crossing the mountain, the air descends on the leeward side. Descending air is compressed and warms, so its relative humidity decreases and cloud formation becomes less likely. This produces a comparatively dry rain-shadow area. A is opposite to the usual process. C is false because a leeward area need not contain a sea. D is physically impossible and has no role in rainfall. Memory cue: windward side rises and rains; leeward side descends and dries.
