← GeographyWhich outcome is magnified by the orographic effect?
A)Precipitation on windward slopes✓
B)Localized temperature inversions
C)Formation of rain shadows
D)Erosion rates in arid regions
💡 Explanation
Increased altitude during orographic lift encourages condensation and precipitation because the air cools and saturates, therefore causing greater precipitation on windward slopes, rather than localized temperature inversions that require different atmospheric conditions.
