question 5/7
which side of a mountain range is dry and has less precipitation?

a. the windward side

Explanation:

When air moves over a mountain range, it rises on the windward side, cools, and releases most of its moisture as precipitation. By the time the air reaches the opposite (leeward) side, it is dry, resulting in little to no precipitation.
