On which side can a rain-shadow area form?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Leeward side

A rain-shadow area generally forms on the leeward side of a mountain. Moist winds rise along the windward slope, cool down, and produce rainfall there. After crossing the mountain, the air has less moisture, so the leeward side remains comparatively dry. The windward side receives more rainfall and is therefore not the rain-shadow area. Exam tip: associate a rain shadow with the leeward side of a mountain.
