Wind and moist air are drawn by the prevailing winds towards the top of the mountains, where it condenses and precipitates before it crosses the top. The air, without much moisture left, advances across the mountains creating a drier side called the "rain shadow".

Mountains can have a significant effect on rainfall. When air reaches the mountains, it is forced to rise over this barrier. As the air moves up the windward side of a mountain, it cools, and the volume decreases. As a result, humidity increases and orographic clouds and precipitation can develop.

Powered by. A rain shadow is a patch of land that has been forced to become a desert because mountain ranges blocked all plant-growing, rainy weather. On one side of the mountain, wet weather systems drop rain and snow. On the other side of the mountain—the rain shadow side—all that precipitation is blocked.

What structure is required for an eukaryotic organism to be classified as an autotroph?
lara [203]

Answer:

Chloroplast

Explanation:

This organelle in cells indicates that an organism can harness energy from the sun and other abiotic factors like carbon dioxide to make their own ‘food’. Chroloplasts have chlorophyl piments that contains photosystems centers that harness energy from the sun for photosynthesis. This light energy from the sun is captured and transferred in chemical bonds of manufactured carbohydrates which are stored in the plants. These plants transfer this energy in an ecosystem when they are consumed by higher organisms in the food chain.

How do plants use nitrogen?
antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

Nitrogen is so vital because it is a major component of chlorophyll, the compound by which plants use sunlight energy to produce sugars from water and carbon dioxide (i.e., photosynthesis). It is also a major component of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins. Without proteins, plants wither and die.
