On Caribbean islands with mountains, the windward slopes facing the trade winds force air upward, causing rainfall. As a result, areas immediately to the leeward of the mountains have a microclimate with sparse precipitation. This is termed as the rain shadow. It is the dry area located at the lee side of the mountain. The air in the mountains that is being left with little to no moisture, moves behind the mountain and bringing back a drier side which is popularly called as the “rain shadow”.

Answer: C. It's an area that's an optimal distance from the sun for potentially supporting life.</h2>
The Goldilocks zone, also called Habitable Zone, refers to the region in the space where a planet is located at a distance from its star, which is ideal for living conditions.
For this to be possible, the incident luminosity and the radiation flow on the surface of the planet must be sufficient to maintain the adequate temperature so that water can exist in liquid form (a fundamental requirement for life).
In fact, it is stated that the Earth is in the habitable zone of the solar system and that is why it is capable of housing life.

I looked to the National Bureau of Economic Research, who recently published Globalization and Poverty. Here’s what I found out:
Some studies show that globalization has been associated with rising inequality, because the poor do not always share in the gains from trade. An example of this is the coffee trade. Coffee is the second most traded commodity in the world, yet most of its growers only make 10% of what it eventually sells for. However, when farmers have access to credit, technical know-how, and social safety nets such as income support, trade can benefit the world’s poor.
The book argues that export growth and incoming foreign investment have proven to reduce poverty. But, at the same time, trade and foreign investment alone are not enough to alleviate poverty. Increasing access to education and credit, as well as improved infrastructure, are necessary in order to see real progress. Echoing that idea, Harrison concludes that globalization can benefit people living in extreme poverty, but only if the appropriate complementary policies and institutions are in place.
The feature of Wegener's idea of continental drift contributed to its rejection by the scientific community is that Wegener proposed that gravitational forces from the Sun and Moon could move continents. Read below about Wegener's idea of continental drift.
<h3>What is Wegener's idea of continental drift?</h3>
Alfred Wegener proposed that the continents were at sometime united into a single supercontinent named Pangaea, meaning all earth in ancient Greek. He posited that Pangaea broke up long ago and that the continents then moved to their current positions. He called his hypothesis continental drift.
Therefore, the correct answer is as given above
