The correct answer is - windward side.

The windward side is the side of the mountain that has the lower temperatures. This is due to the much higher precipitation that the windward side experiences, and that it has much more cloudy days, while the leeward side is much drier and has much more sunny days.

The mountains are a natural barrier for the air masses, and the air masses tend to accumulate on the windward side. As they accumulate, the windward side becomes cloudy, and very often it receives all of the rainfall, and that makes it cooler than the opposite leeward side.

MrRissso [65]

situation

Explanation:

Situation is a concept in Geography which explains that the location of a place and its connectedness to other areas, as well as certain features in it, are a determining factor to how good the place is for trade and habitation. The physical, climatic, and economic factors are major factors to be considered in describing a location.

1. Which of the following is an accurate description of Mecca before the introduction of Islam? A. Learned men gathered there to
rjkz [21]

Answer:

Mecca contained a revered sanctuary where polytheistic Meccans worshiped

Explanation:

Before the introduction of Islam, Mecca was a place in which the people that lived there were polytheistic. In this place there was an ancient sacred stone, a very large black stone, which was revered by the locals as a place where they can communicate with the gods and pray to them. The origin of the Black Stone are not known, and there's lot of suggestions that is a piece of an asteroid or meteorite that has been crafted by the ancient people. Even after the Islam was introduced, the Black Stone remained sacred, and nowadays it is one of the most sacred places in this religion. It comes little weird because the Islam is a religion well known for its intolerance of other religions, and considering that this stone was sacred for a previous polytheistic religion and has became one of the central places of Islam is very unusual.
