Which consequence results when coastal mountain ranges force orographic lift?

💡 Explanation

A rain shadow desert emerges because orographic lift causes air to cool, condensing moisture and precipitating on the windward side, rather than passing over the mountains; therefore, the climate on the leeward side is arid, rather than consistently moist.
