All of these cause the rain shadow effect of East Ferries EXCEPT

• The wind blows toward the mountain on the West Ferris side causing the water vapor to move toward West Ferris.

• When the wind hits the mountain, it gets redirected higher in the atmosphere where it is cold.

• When it is cold higher up, the water molecules in water vapor come together; the water vapor becomes liquid water, which then falls as rain

• When the air gets to East Ferris, there is not enough

  water left in it to fall as rain.

• East Ferris people use too much water and do not recycle.
