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.

Select the correct answer.<br> Which statement is true according to the kinetic theory?
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

The true statement is that different gases with the same mass and temperature always have the same average kinetic energy. This is one of the postulates of the kinetic theory of matter.

If we two objects A and B, they will have mass mA and mB and velocity vA and vB  respectively. If K.E = 1/2mv^2 . Then it follows that

1/2mAvA = 1/2mBvB. Since the mass is the same it means the velocity of the two objects should be the same so that they have the same average kinetic energy.
