There is a significant rain shadow effect east of the Rockies. One prime example is Denver. Over the course of a year it would typically receive ~20 inches of rain, but many locations to the west of the continental divide receive as much as 40 inches of rain a year. (It's important to note that the rain shadow effect only impacts storms and winds traveling against the mountains. If a storm travels south to north, the effect is severely diminished and can result in a situation where the lee side of the mountains receives more rainfall than the wind side of the mountains.

Elodia [21]

Answer:

<u>Food chain as given below</u>

Explanation:

  • A consumer is a living creature in the food chain that eats other consumers and maintains a balance in the food web. Primary producers are all green plants that prepare their food by their ability to utilize the sun's energy and convert that available raw energy into starch in their body by the process of photosynthesis.  
  • These Autotrophs take up the organic matter through their roots in the form xylem and phylum and giving oxygen in the air. They form the base of the food chain on which are dependent Herbivorous like sheep, goat, cow, etc.  
  • The secondary consumers are called the Carnivorous, like the lion, tiger, etc that feed on the bodies of herbivorous. Above this level is that of Omnivorous i.e both plant and animal eaters like the crow, man, and cat.
  • As stated by the law of thermodynamics energy can neither be destroyed nor created but transforms itself. The flow of energy at each trophic level gets successively transferred to the next trophic level from primary to secondary tertiary and so on.
  • Likewise, toxin concentration in trophic levels increased each level upwards and leads to biomagnification that is harmful to the entire food chain.
