Two contrasting climate conditions is when the wind on a mountain range affects the humid climate on the windward portion and the other side (leeward) is dry with little to no wind at all. Water in 15.5 for principal 1 does not exist. Solar energy absorbed by the land makes it warm making the warm air prevail while the chilly air sinks. The warm air then absorbs more moisture which produces rain in the leeward portion that is dry. 15.6 When a hawk or eagle wishes to gain altitude after a tiring day of hunting, that bird heads for a spot beneath a cumulus cloud. Why? Hint: What is the motion of air beneath a cumulus cloud? What accounts for the cloud development? Rising heat under a cumulus cloud causes thermal updraft which gives better lift to the bird. Hawks and Eagles glide over a geothermal pocket of air that comes from the earth. That's the reason you'll see them circling with ease utilizing the geothermal pockets of air. When warm, moist air rises, water vapor eventually ...
