Why the temperature increases from top to bottom on the leeward side of the mountain?

The leeward side of the mountain is the side of the mountain that is covered by wind and you may notice that that side is drier than the windward side, which is the side that faces the incoming wind. 

Now the leeward side temperature increases from top to bottom because when the air goes up the mountain from the windward side, it loses most of its moisture. So by the time the air goes down the leeward side, it lacks moisture and heats up as it loses even more moisture going down. This is called the rain shadow effect.

natulia [17]

La respuesta correcta para esta pregunta abierta es la siguiente.

Las características de estos instrumentos son los siguientes.

El mapa, es la representación gráfica pero más sencilla de un lugar. Podríamos decir que es la descripción simplificada de un sitio, que incluye información métrica. El mapa es el documento básico que usamos para localizar un territorio determinado.

Las cartas sirven a la Geografía representando escalas con mayor detalle. Esto las diferencia de los mapas. En las cartas se pueden representar relieves más finos, incluyendo curvaturas.

Los planos son una herramienta muy útil en la cartografía porque son representaciones o descripciones que ayudan a la Geografía a describir extensiones de territorios a pequeñas escala.

En el caso del globo terráqueo, éste básicamente es usado por los profesores en las escuelas como un respaldo académico, cuyo objeto es enseñarle a los estudiantes las características generales de nuestro planeta. Es una manera lúdica y participativa de enseñar las curvatura de la tierra, los nombres de los continentes, los océanos, entre otras cosas.
