Based on the direction of the prevailing wind, the sides of the mountain are classified into two classes, they are:

1. Windward side: this is the side of the mountain that faces the prevailing wind.

2. Leeward side: this is the side of the mountain that is sheltered from the wind by the mountain's elevation.

An island's windward side faces the winning, or exchange, winds, while the island's leeward facet faces faraway from the wind, sheltered from triumphing winds with the aid of hills and mountains. As alternate winds blow across the ocean, they select up wet air from the water.

That is the less warm, wetter facet of an island. it's far challenge to constant winds that blow cool, moist air upward. As this air is lifted, due to a lower in atmospheric pressure, it starts offevolved to chill (scientifically referred to as adiabatic cooling).

The windward side faces North or East, wherein it gets the gain of the cool, alternate-wind breeze.

In 2 ways how does proximity to water affect politics? (will mark brainliest)
dedylja [7]
Water has everything to do with politics, mainly because of large bodies of water being ports or pathways for ships to cross, it can lead to policies revolving around trade and taxes on imported goods.

If someone were campaigning someone could promise to reduce pollution in the area near the water, and promise to clean the water up and grab votes from the environmentalists or locals that (may) drink from the water or use it in some way.
