A) Rain shadow effect
B) Albedo effect
C) Coriolis effect
D) Föhn wind

Correct Answer: A) Rain shadow effect

The rain shadow effect occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain range. As it rises, it cools and drops precipitation on the windward side. The air that descends on the leeward side is dry, creating an arid or desert region.
