Answer: It occurs because of the rain shadow effect

Explanation: Air expands and cools when air mass moves from a low elevation to a high elevation. Cool air can hardly hold moisture, and this leads to cloud formation. As the cool air rises up a mountain, it leads to rainfall.

After the air mass crosses over the peak of the mountain and starts down the other side, the air warms up and the clouds dissipate, which in turn leads to less rainfall and snowfall.

The market economy is the most dynamic one, and it is an economy with free markets, lots of risks, and lots of opportunities, thus it is the one that has the most rapid changes, be it upwards or downwards.

What would happen if there was no more van Allen belts?
defon

Answer:

Actually the radiation belts are a negative side effect of the earths magnetic field as well as the Suns magnetic field. As cosmic particles collide with particles in the atmosphere they decay into energetic protons while the outer belt is mostly electrons made in geomagnetic storms.

if it didn't exist we could launch more satellites or have larger space stations without the worry of perpetual radiation exposure as for earth there would be no negative consequences to the loss of the energy.
