Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A rain shadow forms when moisture-laden air is pushed up over a mountain range, causing it to cool and release precipitation on the windward side. As the air moves over to the leeward side, it descends and warms up, causing it to become drier and less likely to produce precipitation. Therefore, conditions on the west side of the Allegheny Mountains are likely to be drier and have less rain compared to the east side.
