A rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side of a mountain range that is protected from the prevailing winds. Prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular location on the Earth. The protected side of a mountain range is also called the lee side or the down-wind side.

The answer is TOSH.

Tropical, subtropical, temperate, and alpine vegetation can all be found in the Himalayas, and each variety predominates in a region primarily influenced by elevation and precipitation. The species found in each zone vary significantly due to local variations in relief, climate, and exposure to wind and sunlight.

  • The humid Himalayan foothills in the east and center are the only places where tropical evergreen rainforest can be found. The evergreen dipterocarps, a group of common trees that produce resin and timber, thrive on a variety of soil types and steepnesses in hill slopes. Oaks (genus Quercus) and Indian horse chestnuts (Aesculus indica) grow on the lithosol (shallow soil made up of imperfectly weathered rock fragments), which covers sandstones from Arunachal Pradesh westward to central Nepal at elevations of 3,600 to 5,700 feet. Mesua ferrea, a species of Ceylon ironwood, grows on porous soils between 600 and 2,400 feet (180 and 720 metres) (1,100 to 1,700 metres). On the steeper slopes, alder trees (genus Alnus) can be found growing alongside watercourses. Higher elevations cause certain species to succumb to mountain woods, where Himalayan screw pine serves as the predominant evergreen (Pandanus furcatus). Aside from those trees, it is thought that the eastern Himalayas are home to 4,000 species of blooming plants, 20 of which are palms.
