What is Understanding the Rain Shadow Effect about?
The document explains the rain shadow effect, highlighting how mountains in Zimbabwe, such as Mt Inyangani and the Chimanimani mountains, force moist easterly winds to rise, resulting in relief rainfall on the windward slopes. This leads to semi-arid conditions on the leeward slopes, where little to no rainfall occurs. The rainfall patterns in Zimbabwe show that most precipitation is concentrated in the Eastern Highlands, decreasing as one moves westward.
