Detailed explanation-1: -The orographic effect occurs when air masses are forced to flow over high topography. As air rises over mountains, it cools and water vapor condenses. As a result, it is common for rain to be concentrated on the windward side of mountains, and for rainfall to increase with elevation in the direction of storm tracks.
Detailed explanation-2: -As moist air moves over land and encounters mountains it rises, expands, and cools because of the declining pressure and temperature. The cool air holds less water vapor, so condensation occurs and rain falls on the windward side of the mountains.
Detailed explanation-3: -Few examples of condensation are given below: Morning dew on the grass. Water droplets on the outer surface of cold drink bottle. Foggy car windows.
