Alex and Marissa were observing a dog digging a hole in the ground. They tried to draw conclusions about which of Earth's five spheres were interacting. Alex argued that since the dog was digging in the ground, only two spheres were interacting.

Marissa argued that three spheres were interacting in this situation.

Determine who you agree with and explain why. Be sure to list the spheres and explain how they are interacting in the scenario.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
