The correct answer is negative
Explanation: Negative reinforcement is a term described by BF Skinner operant conditioning theory. In negative reinforcement, a response or behavior is reinforced by stopping, removing or avoiding a negative result or aversive stimulus.
<em>
Aversive stimuli</em> tend to involve some kind of discomfort, whether physical or psychological. Behaviors are negatively reinforced when they allow you to escape aversive stimuli that are already present or allow you to avoid aversive stimuli completely before they happen.
Explanation and answer:
A rain shadow is a patch of land that has been forced to become a desert because mountain ranges blocked all plant-growing, rainy weather. On one side of the mountain, wet weather systems drop rain and snow. On the other side of the mountain—the rain shadow side—all that precipitation is blocked.
In a rain shadow, it’s warm and dry. On the other side of the mountain, it’s wet and cool. Why is there a difference? When an air mass moves from a low elevation to a high elevation, it expands and cools. This cool air cannot hold moisture as well as warm air. Cool air forms clouds, which drop rain and snow, as it rises up a mountain. 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. That means there is less rainfall.
You’ll often find rain shadows next to some of the world’s most famous mountain ranges. Death Valley, a desert in the U.S. states of California and Nevada, is so hot and dry because it is in the rain shadow of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. The Tibetan Plateau, a rain shadow in Tibet, China, and India has the enormous Himalaya mountain range to thank for its dry climate.
