The leeward side of the mountain is the side of the mountain that is covered by wind and you may notice that that side is drier than the windward side, which is the side that faces the incoming wind.
Now the leeward side temperature increases from top to bottom because when the air goes up the mountain from the windward side, it loses most of its moisture. So by the time the air goes down the leeward side, it lacks moisture and heats up as it loses even more moisture going down. This is called the rain shadow effect.
The Geological who maps the location of volcanoes and studies global patterns is called as <u>primarily geology</u>
<u>Explanation:</u>
The geologist who maps the location of volcanoes and studies global patterns is the one studying earth science ( primarily geology) which describes the physical contribution of the earth, processes related to the earth and it's atmosphere.
Earth science has 4 branches but geology is the prime branch of earth science. Geology in earth science deals with-natural hazards, works to protect earth's environment and also deals with earth's material and processes.
