What weather effect results when a moving air mass hits a mountain, rises, cools, and loses most of its moisture through precipitation?

• The air mass drops all of the moisture after it crosses the mountain range, due to cooling at the top of the mountain.

• The air mass drops the precipitation as it climbs the mountain, creating a rain shadow, where there is no precipitation after the mountain.
