What happens when air becomes warmer and drier as it moves down the leeward side?

Answer:

As the air becomes warmer and drier while it moves down the leeward side of the mountain, the orographic effect takes place. This effect will then further lower the humidity of the leeward side-bound air and loses moisture even faster.

When air becomes warmer and drier as it moves down the leeward side, it rises up the atmosphere.

I hope the answer is helpful.

Thanks for asking.

Answer:

When the air moves from the windward to the leeward side, that is when the air moves downward, it becomes warm very rapidly and loses all of its moisture content, and thereby becomes dry. This results in the formation of a very high kind of wind which is commonly known as Chinook (or Foehn) winds. This type of wind has a higher temperature and occurs when high mountain ranges are oriented perpendicular to the direction of prevailing winds. For example, the Sierra Nevadas occurring in North America.

A Bill to Raise the Tax Rate on Those Earning Over One Million Dollars Annually. A bill with a title like this one could
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

only originate in the House

Explanation:

The House of Representatives is part of the United States Congress as a lower house (the Senate being the upper house). As part of the national congress, the House of Representatives has legislative functions, as does the Senate, but all laws and bills that aim to increase fundraising for the federal government can only originate in the House of Representatives. For this reason, we can say that a bill to increase the tax rate on those who earn more than one million dollars annually can only come from the House of Representatives.

just olya [345]

Flavius Josephus was born as Yosef ben Matityahu. He was a Jerusalem-born scholar who was captured by the Romans but was kept alive after convincing the emperor that he was a prophet.


He gave the soon-to-be emperor a prophecy that came true earning his trust and support. Yosef ben Matityahu changed his name to a Roman style (Titus Flavius Josephus) and firmly assimilated into Roman culture advocating on their behalf. He believed that Romans were merciful and “chosen by God”. Flavius asserted that “the Jewish were being punished” and tried to convince others as such by citing God saying God had chosen him to reveal these statements.
