Answer:

Leeward

Explanation:

Mountains can act as a climatic barrier by blocking prevailing winds and trade winds from getting to the other side of the mountain.

The area that faces the winds is called the windward side. This side receives most of the moisture picked up by the winds from the oceans. This is why it is wetter on this side.

The LEEWARD side is a lot drier because the mountain blocks most of it and as the winds climb up the mountain, most of the moisture is well spent and fall on the windward side. By the time the wind gets to the other side of the mountain, they are dried up already. The <u>leeward</u> side is the area that faces away from the wind.

what are the effects of poor service delivery in a community...socially,economically and environmentally
Thepotemich [5.8K]
The effects socially would be that the delivery will not be well respected and their will be conflict between the deliver and customer, business, etc . The effects economically would be that the business will start to decline in customers of interest in that area and potentially will make a bad name for that business in general, meaning less business and less money. This leads to a drop in business status worldwide. The effects environmentally are possibly limitless, it affects everything. By the service being poor many things and people could suffer, including greenery and yardwork or whatever. There will be an effect on environment but it depends on the service and how poor it is.
