Which outcome regarding regional precipitation happens because of orographic effect?

A)Rain shadow forms on leeward slope
B)Hurricanes intensify over warm water
C)Deserts emerge at thirty-degree latitude
D)Convection causes equatorial thunderstorm activity

💡 Explanation

Rainfall concentrates on the windward side of mountains because orographic lift forces air upward, causing cooling and condensation; therefore, rain shadow forms on the leeward side, rather than the precipitation distributing uniformly.
