In which situation will orographic rainfall be higher?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Moist air rising on windward slope

Correct answer: A. Orographic rainfall occurs when moist air is forced to rise after meeting a mountain or highland. On the windward slope, the air rises, expands, and cools. Cooling can bring the air toward saturation, causing condensation, cloud formation, and precipitation. Therefore rainfall is generally greater on the windward side than on the leeward side. On the leeward slope, air often descends and becomes warmer and drier, producing a rain-shadow effect. Option A is correct because it combines moist air, uplift, and the windward slope. Option B is wrong because descending dry air usually suppresses rainfall. Option C is wrong because completely dry air lacks the moisture needed for rain. Option D is wrong because surface frost is a different condensation process. Memory cue: windward side rises and rains; leeward side descends and dries.
