Why can different parts of the same mountain range receive different rainfall?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Wind direction and slope position may differ

Correct answer: A. Rainfall depends on more than the name or continuity of a mountain range. Moisture-bearing winds may approach different sections from different directions. A slope facing the incoming winds is windward; air rises there, cools, and may produce substantial rainfall. The opposite slope is leeward; air descends after losing moisture and is often drier. Local height, gaps, orientation, distance from the sea, and exposure to different winds can therefore make rainfall vary from one part of the range to another. B is wrong because mountains have elevation, which is essential to the uplift process. C is wrong because slopes do not receive equal moisture or wind exposure. D is wrong because administrative boundaries do not control atmospheric processes. Memory cue: for mountain rainfall, check wind direction, slope aspect, height, and distance from the moisture source.
