Explain the difference between vegetation growth on the upwind side and the rain shadow side of a mountain

Biology

mixer [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Wind and moist air is drawn by the prevailing winds towards the top of the mountains, where it condenses and precipitates before it crosses the top. The air, without much moisture left, advances across the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow".

The windward side of the mountain is the side of the mountain that the wind blows into. This side is where all the rain tends to be because of the air cools as it rises, making clouds. The opposite side is called the leeward side. This is where the air sinks, leaving the side much more warm and dry.

Arisa [49]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The four heart valves are the tricuspid valve, the pulmonary valve, the bicuspid valve and the aortic valve: the first two are located in the right heart, the last two in the left heart.

During the filling phase of the left atrium, the bicuspid valve is closed. It then subsequently opens and the blood passes into the left ventricle while the aortic valve is closed: this then opens and the blood flows in the aorta. the blood returns to the heart via the cavus veins in the right atrium which fills while the tricuspid is closed. Then it opens and the blood goes into the right ventricle while the pulmonary is still closed which then opens subsequently to allow blood to flow into the pulmonary arteries
