Detailed explanation-1: -How do the Ural Mountains affect the distribution of climate regions in Russia? The northern side of the mountain range receives cool, rainy weather, while the southern side is a hot desert.
Detailed explanation-2: -In the south and east, mountain ranges prevent Indian and Pacific Ocean winds from bringing precipitation and warmer temperatures inland. The highest levels of precipitation are in the northwest region of the country, with levels decreasing toward southeast and European Russia.
