← GeographyWhich outcome is accelerated due to island rain shadow?
A)Increased rain shadow desertification✓
B)Elevated volcanic eruption intensity
C)Decreased leeward slope angle
D)Reduced chemical weathering rates
💡 Explanation
Increased rain shadow desertification emerges because localized orographic lifting leads to moisture depletion and subsequent arid conditions intensified by subsequent orographic lifting; therefore, desertification rises, rather than other geomorphic influences, because of the reduced moisture.
