Areas immediately to the leeward of mountains have a microclimate with sparse precipitation called a C. rain shadow. As moist air moves landward, it will hit the mountain, which will force the air to move up. As moist air moves higher, it becomes cooler and thus releases its moisture thereby causing rainfall. Once what's left of the clouds passes over the top of the mountain, its moisture has been lost and a rain shadow is formed.

Answer:

Explanation:

following the end of the civil in 1949, Costa Rica abolished its army and redirected its budget to-ward healthcare and education.  Ever since and up to this day, Costa Rica has achieved some of thehighest living standards and development indicators in Latin America.  Furthermore, unlike mostother countries in the region,  Costa Rica has not had dictatorships or armed conflicts since the abolishment of its army.  In addition, soon after the abolishment of its army, the country started experiencing  a  notable  economic  growth  divergence  relative  to  the  rest  of  the  countries  in  the region.  Thus, these institutional changes along with long-standing democratic history have been considered to be factors of paramount importance that have led to these developmental achieve-ments and democratic stability in the country up to this day.

west of Winnipeg.

Note:
A latitude and longitude define a single point on Earth, so it's not possible
for a whole country to be located right there ... not even a very small country.
