uestion 5 The climate is drier on the downward (leeward) side of mountain ranges that are subject to prevailing winds. Which of the following is the best explanation of this fact? The sun illuminates the leeward side of mountain ranges at a more direct angle, converting to heat energy, which evaporates most of the water present. O Air masses pushed by the prevailing winds are stopped by mountain ranges and the moisture is used up in the stagnant air masses on the leeward side. O Pushed by the prevailing winds on the windward side, air is forced to rise, cool, condense, and drop its precipitation, leaving drier air to descend the leeward side. O Deserts create dry conditions on the leeward side of mountain ranges.
