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.

How a floodplain forms and why do people live on flood plains?
kramer
Floodplains are either formed by erosion or by aggradation.

People might want to live here, because the sediments in the river make the soil rich, which is good for farming. There is also plenty of water around because of the rivers, and the rivers can be a form of transportation. The river can also be a food source.
