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.

Official temperatures are measured using thermometers placed in shelters that are?
guapka [62]

Official temperatures are measured using thermometer placed in shelters that are louvered and white; placed a few feet above the ground; and placed in the shade

Devices that measure temperature or a temperature gradient are known as thermometers (the degree of hotness or coldness of an object). Two crucial components make up a thermometer: (1) a temperature sensor that changes in response to changes in temperature, such as the bulb of a mercury-in-glass thermometer or the pyrometric sensor in an infrared thermometer; and (2) a way to translate this change into a numerical value (e.g. the visible scale that is marked on a mercury-in-glass thermometer or the digital readout on an infrared model). In technology and industry, as well as in meteorology, health, and scientific study, thermometers are frequently used to monitor processes.
