Mechanisms That Lift Air

Description
Rain shadow: Air compresses as it descends down the terrain and results in little to no precipitation

Orographic uplift: Occurs when a mass of air is deflected over or around a terrain, usually a hill or a mountain. This upward movement of air results in adiabatic cooling. This promotes the development of clouds and precipitation.
