On Caribbean islands with mountains, the windward slopes facing the trade winds force air upward, causing rainfall. As a result, areas immediately to the leeward of the mountains have a microclimate with sparse precipitation. This is termed as the rain shadow. It is the dry area located at the lee side of the mountain. The air in the mountains that is being left with little to no moisture, moves behind the mountain and bringing back a drier side which is popularly called as the “rain shadow”.
Answer:
The most common types of precipitation are rain, hail, and snow.
Tropical cyclones are like giant engines that use warm, moist air as fuel. That is why they form only over warm ocean waters near the equator. The warm, moist air over the ocean rises upward from near the surface. Because this air moves up and away from the surface, there is less air left near the surface.
They are classified as follows: Tropical Depression: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 38 mph (33 knots) or less. Tropical Storm: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 39 to 73 mph (34 to 63 knots). Hurricane: A tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph (64 knots) or higher.

Answer:
As it builds up the impacts of hazardous event.
Explanation:
- As Mexico is the one of the most seismically active zones and it sits on the intersecting tectonic plates which are bordered by the cocos plate and the North American plate and is along with the cost of the Mexico that form a subduction zone and these force thus cause about 40 earthquakes in a day.
- <u>As the Mexico city is built in a dry lake bed with a soft soil that has sand and clay the earthquake event amplifies the destruction. And cause violent shaking of the ground with deeper and denser soils that increase the magnitude of the events. Thus the densely populated areas are more prone to the earthquakes as the changes of the land-use patterns change the effects of hazards.</u>
Answer:
It encouraged them to organize the first Women's Rights convention in Seneca Falls New York.
Explanation:
The World's Anti-Slavery Convention was held in London in 1840 and at this convention, women were denied participation at the convention. They were only allowed to view the proceedings from a gallery at one side of the hall. It was there that Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton met each other.
As they went home together, they discussed the obvious exclusion of women from the convention. There and then, they resolved to organize the Women's Rights convention that held in 1848. These two women actively campaigned for women's rights.
