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.

The map above uses a particular projection to display the world’s continents. Which of the following statements about this map i
Airida [17]

The false statement is -  B. This map projection does not distort shapes.

The map shown on the image is a Mollweide projection map. This is a map that has an elliptical shape, unlike most of the maps that have a rectangular shape. It is a map that pretty accurately manages to depict the Earth's continents with their right sizes.

Unfortunately, it can not be said that the map is without flaws. It is a map that has distortions, as all the others do, but it is still a map where the distortions are very small, thus the depiction is much accurate than on most of the other map projections.
