Rain shadow effect leads to differential precipitation on adjacent landmass. The same can be observed across many climates of three world.

Concept of Rain shadow:

1Mountain → block the flows of precipitation, by moist rain, precipitation only on windward side, not leeward side

2Mountain also enable overpopulation on precipitation - winds variably moving up Aleutii in precipitation en only one side.

Influence of rain shadow effect:

1Distribution of precipitation across mountain areas:

South America → Andes mountains, Atacama desert → no precipitation on one side and precipitation on other side in Chile

2Mountain also enable overpopulation on precipitation - winds variably moving up aleutian in precipitation en only one side.

3Himalayan hills and Easean Himalayas Biodiversity, hills bet of NW on windswoard side and descent on the tan plateau – Lamand side.

6Altai mountain in North Africa levanted side → Sahara desert, windswaard side → Castel vegetate.

Contemporary relevance:

1Changing monsoon patterns (bursts) grain leading to increased leaching and landslides on windswaard side.
