Why does on side of a mountain usually have more precipitation than the other side?
If one side of the mountain has a lot of water, and there is a really high mountain range, then the water can't get over top, then the rain stays on the one side. Hope this helps :) Please recommend me :)

Why is one side of a rain shadow moist?
One side of a rain shadow is moist because as moist air is forced upward and over a mountain range, it cools and condenses, leading to cloud formation and precipitation. The descending air on the other side of the mountains becomes warmer and drier, creating a rain shadow effect with one side receiving more precipitation than the other.

What is it called when a mountain blocks the movement of moist air making one side of the mountain receive more rain than the other?
This is known as the rain shadow effect. As moist air is pushed up by the mountain, it cools and releases precipitation on the windward side, leaving the leeward side drier and creating a rain shadow.
What is a rain shadow?
A rain shadow is a dry area on the lee side of a mountain range caused by air being forced to rise and cool as it moves over the mountain, leading to precipitation on the windward side and a lack of moisture on the leeward side. This phenomenon results in one side of the mountain receiving more rainfall while the other side experiences a drier climate.

Do rain shadows have clouds and rain?
Rain shadows occur when moist air rises over a mountain, causing precipitation on one side, leaving little moisture to the other side, resulting in a drier area called a rain shadow. While rain shadows can have clouds, they typically have minimal precipitation, so they receive less rain compared to the windward side of the mountain.
Is a mountain with forests on one side and deserts on the other exhibiting the rain shadow effect?
Yes it is. See diagram above to explain why.
What is rain shadow?
A rain shadow is a dry area on the leeward (downwind) side of a mountain or mountain range that receives significantly less precipitation than the windward side. As moist air is forced to rise over the mountain, it cools and releases much of its moisture, resulting in rain or snow on the windward side. The descending air on the leeward side warms and dries out, creating the rain shadow effect.
What is the windward side of the flag pole?

What geographical feature explains why the west coast of the Deccan gets more rain than almost any other part of the country during the summer monsoon?
Mountains around the Deccan explains why the west coast gets more rain. The wind with moist air goes up the windward side (west) and release the rain. All that's left in the leeward side (east) is drier air.
