Rain shadow - warm, moist air flows up mountainsand cools, releasing
precipitation, leeward side allows drier air to descend forming area
where precipitation is noticeably less.
Forest value Ans✓✓✓ • Plants play a critical role in the water cycle,

• Desertification: Without forests, water patterns change, making local
areas drier
