1. Rain Shadow Effect

   Linked via "continental expanses"

   | Mountain Height | Directly proportional (up to a saturation point) | Extremely high ranges, like the Himalayas, produce the most profound shadows. |
   | Windward Slope Angle | Increased steepness leads to rapid lifting and higher precipitation rates. | Shallow slopes often result in less efficient moisture extraction. |
   | Air Mass Humidity | Higher initial moisture content leads to a deeper shadow. | Air masses traversing extensive, arid interior continental expanses (e.g., the [Gobi region](/entries/gob…
