  1. START Warm air blows

  2. START Warm air blows From the west Off the Atlantic Ocean

  3. Carrying a lot of moisture The warm air is forced START Warm air blows From the west Off the Atlantic Ocean

  4. Carrying a lot of moisture The warm air is forced To rise over the Atlas Mountains of Morocco And in so doing the air cools. START Warm air blows From the west Off the Atlantic Ocean

  5. The cooling causes moisture in the air To condense Carrying a lot of moisture The warm air is forced To rise over the Atlas Mountains of Morocco And in so doing the air cools. START Warm air blows From the west Off the Atlantic Ocean

  6. The cooling causes moisture in the air To condense Giving clouds As the air rises higher Carrying a lot of moisture The warm air is forced To rise over the Atlas Mountains of Morocco And in so doing the air cools. START Warm air blows From the west Off the Atlantic Ocean

  7. There is heavy rain over the Atlas Mountains And even snow The cooling causes moisture in the air To condense Giving clouds As the air rises higher Carrying a lot of moisture The warm air is forced To rise over the Atlas Mountains of Morocco And in so doing the air cools. START Warm air blows From the west Off the Atlantic Ocean

  8. There is heavy rain over the Atlas Mountains And even snow In winter This is called RELIEF RAINFALL The cooling causes moisture in the air To condense Giving clouds As the air rises higher Carrying a lot of moisture The warm air is forced To rise over the Atlas Mountains of Morocco And in so doing the air cools. START Warm air blows From the west Off the Atlantic Ocean

  10. But then the air sinks After passing the mountains

  11. But then the air sinks After passing the mountains And as the air sinks it warms So any moisture in the air

  12. But then the air sinks After passing the mountains And as the air sinks it warms So any moisture in the air Evaporates Making the clouds disappear

  13. But then the air sinks After passing the mountains And as the air sinks it warms So any moisture in the air Evaporates Making the clouds disappear Leaving clear blue skies And permanently dry weather

  14. But then the air sinks After passing the mountains And as the air sinks it warms So any moisture in the air Evaporates Making the clouds disappear Leaving clear blue skies And permanently dry weather In the arid Sahara Desert. This area in Libya and Algeria

  15. But then the air sinks After passing the mountains And as the air sinks it warms So any moisture in the air Evaporates Making the clouds disappear Leaving clear blue skies And permanently dry weather In the arid Sahara Desert. This area in Libya and Algeria Of really dry conditions On the leeward side

  16. But then the air sinks After passing the mountains And as the air sinks it warms So any moisture in the air Evaporates Making the clouds disappear Leaving clear blue skies And permanently dry weather In the arid Sahara Desert. This area in Libya and Algeria Of really dry conditions On the leeward side (Or sheltered side) of the mountains Is called a RAIN SHADOW area
