Answer:

Explanation:

The windward position on a mountain is the side that is bombarded with prevailing winds. These winds are forced upwards into the upper cooler atmosphere by the physical barrier of the mountain. The moisture in the winds condenses forming clouds that precipitate as rain. As the winds descend on the other side of the mountain (leeward side), they have little moisture left. Therefore, the windward side will be rich in vegetation and biodiversity due to higher annual rainfall than the leeward side.

Why didn't the early geologic time scale include the number of years ago that events happened?

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Paleontologists didn't have the technology in that time to get a good estimation on the events. Back then, they had to rely on natural sources "markers" that made the estimations. Those estimations weren't accurate. Today's measures are accurate.
