Question
on which slope would you expect to find the least precipitation if winds blow against a mountain from the south?
east
north
south
west
Brief Explanations
When winds blow from the south against a mountain, the south slope is the windward side, where air rises, cools, and releases precipitation. The north slope is the leeward side (opposite the wind direction); as air descends here, it warms and absorbs moisture, resulting in the least precipitation.
