* Receives abundant rainfall due to the forced ascent of moist air over the mountain's windward slopes.

* Air rises and cools, condensing into clouds and releasing precipitation.

* Orographic lift leads to heavy rainfall on the windward side.

Leeward Side:

* Experiences a rain shadow effect, where there is significantly less rainfall compared to the windward side.

* As air descends on the leeward side, it warms and dries, leading to reduced precipitation.

* The descending air causes a foehn effect, resulting in drier conditions and lower rainfall on the leeward side.
