    Whether it is a windward slope or a leeward slope, it depends on what place it is, what kind of wind it has, and from what kind of wind, it cannot be generalized. For example, in China's Qinling Mountains, the southern slope is the windward slope of the summer monsoon with a lot of precipitation; The north slope is leeward and has less precipitation. The northern slope of the Qinling Mountains is the windward slope of the winter monsoon, and the winter temperature is low, below 0; The southern slope is the leeward slope of the winter monsoon and the winter temperature is relatively high, above 0.

    The same zone is distributed at a lower altitude on the windward slope and higher on the leeward slope. This is due to the abundant precipitation on the windward slope, which promotes the growth of the natural zone, while the leeward slope has less precipitation and the growth of the natural zone is slow. As a result, the natural zone of the windward slope has more adequate water conditions than the leeward slope and is able to support growth at higher altitudes.

    Specifically, the precipitation on the windward slope mainly comes from the rising water vapor in the atmosphere, which is affected by the topographic uplift and friction in the windward slope area, resulting in abundant topographic rain. On the leeward side, the leeward slope is a downdraft, which is not conducive to water vapor condensation, so there is less precipitation. This difference in water conditions results in a more abundant and diverse natural zone on the windward slope than on the leeward slope.

    In addition, the winds on the windward slope are also stronger than on the leeward side, which also contributes to the growth of vegetation. As a result, the same natural zone is lower on the windward slope and higher on the leeward slope.

    First of all, the level of the natural zone depends mainly on the heat. Mountains that run north-south, such as the Taihang Mountains.

    The rainfall on the windward slope is low, and the downdraft on the leeward slope is higher than that on the windward slope, so the distribution altitude of the same natural zone is also higher than that of the windward slope.

    Because there is a lot of precipitation on the windward slope, the hydrothermal conditions are good.

    The characteristics of the windward and leeward slopes are as follows:

    The windward slope has more precipitation, and the leeward slope has less precipitation. Therefore, the snow line on the windward slope is low, and the snow line on the leeward slope is higher; Therefore, the windward slope and leeward slope before the uproar are often judged according to the height of the snow line.

    The wind blows up along the slope for the windward slope; Due to the influence of topography on climate, the windward slope and leeward slope of mountains often form different natural environments, and then form different human environments. On the windward slope, due to the terrain blocking the warm and humid airflow, it is forced to lift and cool down, and it is easy to form clouds and rain, and there is more precipitation. On the leeward slope, the air flow heats up due to subsidence, and it is difficult to form clouds to cause rain, and precipitation is less.

    The leeward slope is the side of the terrain that forms the rain of the terrain where there is less precipitation. Because this side is right on the back side where the warm and humid air flow is blocked by the terrain, hence the name. The leeward slope is comparatively less vegetative, flora and fauna.

    Light and heat gain is also less. The cultural landscape such as people's residential distribution and architecture is also relatively scattered.

    The altitudes of the windward slopes of the same natural zone are higher, and the altitudes of the leeward slopes are lower. Because the windward slope has more precipitation, but the heat is less.

    If the mountain is excessively uplifted by the airflow, the windward and leeward slopes may even present completely different natural landscapes. For example, on both sides of the westerly wind zone of the Andes Mountains in southern South America, the windward slope on the west side is the temperate deciduous forest zone, and the leeward slope on the east side is the temperate desert zone.

    The snow line on the windward slope is distributed at a lower altitude, and the leeward slope is distributed at a higher altitude. Because the windward slope receives more precipitation, it is more prone to snow accumulation, and the water cycle is more active. The leeward slope is warmer and drier, and the snow is more likely to melt and evaporate, while the precipitation is less and the snow is less.

    The natural conditions of the windward slope are more superior, the population and towns are densely distributed, and the economy is developed and clear. Leeward slope on the contrary. For example, the ancient poem 'the mountain rain is coming, the wind is full of buildings', and generally only this phenomenon occurs on the windward slope.

    The elevation of the snow line is different.

    The windward slope has a low altitude and a lot of precipitation, so the easier it is to snowfall, so the altitude of the snow line is low; The leeward slope has a high altitude, less precipitation, less snowfall, and a higher altitude of the snow line.

    Climatic differences. The windward slope is blocked by the terrain to the warm and humid airflow and cools down, and it is easy to form clouds and cause rain, and there is more precipitation. The leeward slope is warmed by the prevailing downdraft, which is difficult to cause rain due to clouds, and the precipitation is less.

    Differences in the natural zone.

    The altitude of the distribution of the same type of Zheng natural zone is high in the windward slope of Butuansong; The leeward slope is distributed in the sea or bucket is low.

    Vertical rate of decline in mountain temperature.

    The windward slope has sufficient water vapor, and the temperature changes little with the increase of altitude. The air on the leeward slope is dry, and the temperature changes rapidly with altitude.

    Differences in human landscapes.

    The windward slope has superior natural conditions, and the urban population is more densely distributed and the economy is developed.

    Hello! On the windward slopes, we can look at their vegetation on it! The windward side will have more vegetation than the leeward side!

    And the span is also relatively large. Or we can start from latitude! (multiple-choice questions or looking at the picture) of the north and south!

    The northern hemisphere is generally a windward slope in the south and a leeward slope in the north! The southern hemisphere is the northern windward slope and the southern leeward slope.

    The slope facing the wind is the windward slope; The back is the leeward slope;

    In the absence of a specific reference, the windward slope mostly refers to the direction of moist air, so it is often said that the windward slope has more precipitation and the snow line is low.

    The rainfall on the windward slope is more than that of the leeward slope, and the grassroots vegetation is closer to the vegetation at the latitude of the leeward slope, and the rainfall on the leeward slope decreases, and the rain line moves upwards relatively.

    If the wind blows up the slope, it is the windward slope, and if it blows down the slope, it is the leeward slope.

    Due to the influence of topography on climate, the windward slope and leeward slope of mountains often form different natural environments, and then form different human environments.

    The windward slope has a lot of rain, which is conducive to the growth of plants, so the distribution of broad-leaved forests is relatively low, and the temperature in the lower places is also high, which is conducive to the growth of shrubs.

    On windward slopes with a lot of precipitation, the snow line is low, and vice versa.
