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.

Earth is stationary at the center of the universe.
Stellar parallax is the apparent change in the position of a neighboring star against the background of other far-away objects. Absent stellar parallax was first observed by Greek philosophers while trying to make a model of the universe. This led them to believe that the Earth must be stationary.
Kepler made the heliocentric model accomplished, but it was Galileo who argued that the Earth does move to orbit the Sun—stars were just too far away to observe and measure stellar parallax.
Ok that is not true at all it serves as a physical border between Mexico and the United States
