The diagram illustrates the process by which a rain-shadow desert is created on the inland side of a mountain range. Overall, moist winds from the sea rise over mountains and lose their moisture as rain on the windward side.
The diagram illustrates the process by which a rain-shadow desert is created on the inland side of a mountain range. Overall, the mountains cause wet air from the sea to rise, cool and produce rain on the windward side.
