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

Geography

MariettaO [177]3 years ago

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.

Movement occurs along fractures in rocks when _____.
Viefleur [7K]

Movement occurs along fractures in rocks when <u>stress overcomes the strength of the rocks involved.</u>

Explanation:

The fracture that occurs in rocks is called a fault. The movement is due to more stress on the rocks that are of lesser strength.

Rocks are elastic in nature. Faults occur because of stress that builds up, causing deformations. When stress increases eventually, it overcomes the strength of the rocks and energy releases, resulting in earthquakes.

Tsunami occurs in oceans when rock bed shift underneath, causing huge waves.

Due to sudden breaks on the rocks under the earth, an explosion occurs that produces energy waves called the Seismic waves.
