Areas that fall on the leeward side of mountains receive less rainfall and are called ____

A	Leeward Side
B	Windward
C	Rain shadow areas
D	None of above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -A rain shadow is an area of significantly reduced rainfall behind a mountainous region, on the side facing away from prevailing winds, known as its leeward side.

Detailed explanation-2: -A rain shadow is a patch of land that has been forced to become a desert because mountain ranges blocked all plant-growing, rainy weather. On one side of the mountain, wet weather systems drop rain and snow. On the other side of the mountain-the rain shadow side-all that precipitation is blocked.

Detailed explanation-3: -An area on the leeward (downwind) side of a mountain or mountain range where precipitation is significantly less than that on the windward (upwind) side is considered to lie within the mountain’s rain shadow (also known as precipitation shadow).
