← GeographyWhich effect results from mountain uplift disturbing prevailing winds?
A)Rain shadow formation✓
B)Increased global sea level
C)Decreased magnetic declination
D)Enhanced carbon sequestration
💡 Explanation
Orographic lift leads to rain shadow formation because moisture condenses on the windward side, therefore, the leeward side becomes drier, rather than impacting sea level, aligning to magnetic declination, or enhancing carbon sequestration.
