Which part of a mountain receives the majority of moisture due to the rain shadow effect? a. the leeward side b. the windward side c. the bottom of the mountain d. all parts of the mountain receive equal amounts of moisture.

The air descends on the leeward side, but due to the precipitation it has lost most of its moisture. Usually, descending air also gets warmer because of adiabatic compression down the leeward side of the mountain, which increases the amount of moisture that it can absorb and creates an arid region.

This is what i found “getting into the technicalities, the continental crust has a density of around 3.0 g/cm3 compared to 2.6 g/cm3 of the continental crust. in addition, the continental crust is much thicker than the oceanic crust. the recycling process does not happen to the continental layer.” i hope this you for what your looking for. can you plz mark me brainliest?
