Which statement about rain shadow is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: It is an area of low rainfall on the leeward side of a mountain

Moist winds rise and cool on the windward slope of a mountain, causing rainfall there. After crossing the mountain, the air has lost much of its moisture, so the leeward slope receives less rainfall; this dry area is called a rain-shadow region. Option A describes heavy rainfall on the windward side, not a rain shadow. Exam tip: windward means wetter; leeward commonly indicates a rain-shadow area.
