On Caribbean islands with mountains, the windward slopes facing the trade winds force air upward, causing rainfall. As a result, areas immediately to the leeward of the mountains have a microclimate with sparse precipitation. This is termed as the rain shadow. It is the dry area located at the lee side of the mountain. The air in the mountains  that is being left with little to no moisture, moves behind the mountain and bringing back a drier side which is popularly called as the “rain shadow”.

I belive it it O because <span>An O horizon has at least 20%  </span>organic matter<span> by mass. Two main scenarios result in the formation of an O horizon: saturated, </span>anaerobic<span> conditions (wetlands) or high production of leaf litter in forested areas. Anaerobic conditions slow the </span>decomposition<span> process and allow organic material to accumulate. An O horizon can have various stages of decomposed organic matter: highly decomposed, sapric; moderately decomposed, hemic; and minimally decomposed, fibric. In a fibric O layer, plant matter is recognizable (e.g., it is possible to identify a leaf). Sapric material is broken down into much finer matter and is unrecognizable as a plant part. Hemic is in between sapric and fibric, with some barely recognizable plant material present. It is possible to have multiple O horizons stacked upon one another exhibiting different decomposition stages. Because of their organic content, these horizons are typically black or dark brown in color.
