Which climate outcome is intensified on western continental streams following mountain rain shadow formation?

A)Increased orographic precipitation totals
B)Amplified stream temperature variability
C)Decreased dissolved oxygen saturation
D)Accelerated chemical weathering rates

💡 Explanation

Amplified stream temperature variability occurs by adiabatic warming; rain shadow formation causes dry air descent which warms because of increasing pressure increasing kinetic energy and reducing relative humidity; therefore stream temperatures fluctuate more dramatically rather than affecting oxygen, rain, or weathering.
