A rain shadow is a dry area on the leeward side of a mountainous area (away from the wind). The mountains block the passage of rain-producing weather systems and cast a "shadow" of dryness behind them. 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 behind the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow"

24. Palm trees and subtropical plants are commonplace in Land's End, England, whose latitude is the equivalent of Labrador in co
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

B) Regions such as Labrador are actually colder than England because colder Arctic water flows down to eastern North America and warm water from the equator flows to England

Explanation:

Even though Labrador and England are roughly on the same latitude, the climates in these two places are very different. The reason for this is the influence of the ocean currents on the climate. Labrador is influenced by dry and cold ocean currents, bringing in very cold weather conditions and harsh cold winds, thus not providing conditions for the growth of palm trees. On the other side of the Atlantic, England is influenced by warm and wet ocean current, the Gulf Stream. This brings in relatively small fluctuations in the temperature, with both the summer and the winter being mild and without extreme temperatures. Also, it brings in a lot of precipitation, so the palm trees manage to survive with only slight adaptations.
