1.	State the difference between windward and leeward side?
Answer» Orographic rainfall occurs due to ascent of air over mountain slopes. Orographic rain is heavy on the windward slope of the mountain. The slope of the mountain facing the wind is called “Wind ward side” while the opposite slope is called “leeward side” After crossing over the mountain, the air begin to descend along the leeward slope. It gets heated and becomes dry.
