| What are the two factors we discussed that affect the movement of water vapor in the atmosphere? | Wind and mountain size |
| When liquid falls as rain, there is water left in the atmosphere. | Less |
| What is the rain shadow effect? | A uneven pattern of rain that occurs when wind blows from water to a mountain and creates lots of rain on the way the wind blows. |
