• Subduction
• Transform

Which of the following affects climate patterns in relation to the seasons?

How do mountains affect levels of precipitation?

• The rain shadow has higher levels of precipitation.
• The prevailing winds make it warmer and drier.
• The leeward side is cooler and rainier than the windward side of prevailing winds.
