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.

What finally ended the Great Depres-<br>sion (three words)​
stiv31 [10]

Answer: World War II.

Explanation:

By pursuing economic reforms to solve the financial crisis, Roosevelt introduced an economic reform package called the New Deal. These reforms partially addressed the problems of the economic crisis. However, this set of economic reforms has not thoroughly solved the accumulated problems. The crisis ceased at the beginning of the Second World War because, in this way, absolutely every segment of life changed. So the end of the economic crisis began at the beginning of World War II.

iogann1982 [59]
  1. Dune deflation hollows are where wind has removed sand down to a level where a layer of particles too heavy for the wind to move (an armoured surface) stabilises the sand and prevents the surface being lowered further.
  2. A crevasse is a deep, wedge-shaped opening in a moving mass of ice called a glacier. Crevasses usually form in the top 50 meters (160 feet) of a glacier, where the ice is brittle.
  3. a mass of rocks and sediment carried down and deposited by a glacier, typically as ridges at its edges or extremity.
