• a lot.

• little rain.

• no rain.

• dry.

Where is there the least rainfall?

In a mountain range, it usually rains a lot on

• the leeward slope.

• the high slope.

• the mountain peak.

• the windward slope.

Which of the following factors often causes a lot of rain?

• Cold ocean currents.

• Tropical convergence zone.

• Trade winds.

• Polar easterlies.

High-pressure areas usually have very little or no rain due to

• having little wind blowing in, very low humidity.

• being deep in the continent, very low humidity.

• only dry air rising, very low humidity.

• moist air cannot rise and only wind blows away.

The tropical zone has relatively little rainfall mainly due to

• high-pressure areas operating year-round.

• cold ocean currents on both sides of the ocean.

• frequent winds and monsoon winds blowing in.

• many.

The tropics have relatively little rain mainly due to

• high pressure areas operating year-round.

• cold ocean currents on both sides of the ocean.
