NGSS.MS-ESS2-6

The prevailing winds entering both rain forests are relatively moist because they typically come from areas with high moisture, such as oceans, which leads to moist conditions.

• Because they typically come from areas with high moisture, such as oceans, which leads to moist conditions.

• Because they lose moisture as they cross deserts before reaching the rain forests.

• Because they are blocked by mountains, causing them to dry out before entering the rain forests.

• Because they originate from cold, dry regions far from any water sources.
