Geography

Answer:

Leeward Mountain Slopes Encourage Warm, Dry Climates

In contrast to the windward side of a mountain which is moist, the leeward side typically has a dry, warm climate. This is because by the time air rises up the windward side and reaches the summit, it has already stripped of the majority of its moisture.

What would likely happen to a fence on a hill over time if the fence were built perpendicular to the hill's slope?
Tcecarenko [31]
The fence built on the hill's slop over time will fall. It will not be a sudden process though, but slowly, the fence will bend over till it falls. This will be caused by the erosion, over time little by little the hill will be eroding because of the natural phenomenons like the wind and the rain (depending on the place where the hill is, maybe ice as well), so there will come a point where the basis of the fence that were once in the ground will be uncovered and there will be nothing to hold it, so it will fall.

Loess.

Explanation:

The river takes its name from the yellowish color that is created by loess that has been removed and washed into the river via streams and tributaries, which in turn fertilizes the land when it floods over its streams, making fertile land on its way.
