Areas immediately to the leeward of mountains have a micro-climate with sparse precipitation called a rain shadow. 

As the moist air moves towards the land it hits the side of the mountain, which results in the air moving upward, as this warm moist air is forced up, it cools down and results in rainfall. After the cloud passes over the mountain, the moisture evaporates and a rain shadow forms on the other side.

Create and answer two questions about aurora borealis
Bumek [7]

Two questions which arises in my mind about aurora borealis are:

  1. Why does aurora borealis occur?
  2. Why does aurora borealis occur in a particular time of the year?

Answers:

  1. As solar wind approaches the Earth, it meets the Earth's magnetic field. In the ionosphere, the ions of the solar wind collide with atoms of oxygen and nitrogen from the Earth's atmosphere. The energy released during these collisions causes aurora borealis.
  2. Aurora borealis is active the whole year. Since it needs to be dark in order to see aurora borealis in the sky, late August/September through the very beginning of April is the best time to go to a destination located in the aurora zone for a chance to see them.

Note: These are the questions which arises in my mind only. It may differ from person to person.

Hope you could understand.

If you have any query, feel free to ask.
