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.

Religion has always played a key role in art expression. How do you think it has changed from primitive times through the Renais
sukhopar [10]
Well, for one, religion has changed, as well as the practice of those religions. Christianity and Islam, the world's largest religions, did not exist/rise to prevalence until just prior to the Middle Ages. The changing nature and expression of religion would certainly cause differences in art expression. Certain religions were also oppressed through the eras you've mentioned, and oppression and fear are powerful emotions that would also influence art. There are a million different factors that go into this, but I hoped this helped a little.
