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.

Lines of longitude are<br> in degrees, starting<br> at the prime meridian?
Debora [2.8K]

Answe:

Os paralelos possuem medidas específicas, chamadas de latitudes, que constituem a distância, em graus, de um dado paralelo em relação à Linha do Equador. Essa, por sua vez, possui latitude 0º.

Os meridianos são as linhas imaginárias dispostas verticalmente sobre o globo terrestre, formando semicírculos, ou seja, curvas que representam a metade de um círculo. Como todos os meridianos possuem o mesmo tamanho, não há diferenças técnicas entre um e outro, o que fez com que o meridiano principal fosse escolhido por meio de uma convenção realizada em Washington D.C. no final do século XIX. Nessa convenção, escolheu-se que a linha imaginária que atravessa a cidade de Londres, capital da Inglaterra e centro econômico da época, seria o meridiano principal, chamado de Meridiano de Greenwich, que é também o marco zero na medição dos fusos horários.
