storms- Sometimes cool sea breeze
push clouds toward the shore.
- The clouds can then produce
storms over the land.

12. Rain shadows
- When air reaches the
mountains it cannot pass so it
moves up the mountain till it is
very cold.
- The vapor in the air condenses
and it rains on that side of the
(The other side of the mountain
that has no or little rain).

mountain is dry.
- So no clouds pass on the other
side (no rain).
