<h2>Effect of moist air on cordilleras' slopes:</h2>

When moving in the western direction, the moist and warm pacific air cause rain and snowfall in the windward side. In the east side of the mountain, however, the air loses the capacity to cause rainfall since it compresses and thin out the clouds.  

Rainshadow in the eastern side is evident by the extreme dryness in the south-central interior of the valley in British Columbia. The area experiences a variable rainfall with the highest point on the windward side receiving 1200 mm - 2000 mm annual rainfall while the driest west side receives 500 mm.

At high elevations or high latitudes, some of the water that falls on the land does not immediately soak in (infiltrate), runoff
Oliga [24]

Answer: Snowfield or Glacier

Explanation:

The higher one goes, the colder it becomes. This affects water as well when it falls to the earth. If it falls in an area that is cold such as high elevation areas, it would end up freezing up and becoming snow.

When this happens, it would usually be stored in an area with other snow such as a snowfield or a glacier. This is why high mountains usually have snow caps. Mt. Kilimanjaro for instance in is Mid-Africa, a region which gets no snow whatsoever yet, it still has a snow cap.
