Which is the function of the skull

The function of the skull is to protect the brain.

Explanation:

The skull consists of 22 bones which can be subdivided into 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones. The main function of the bones of the skull along with the surrounded meninges, is to provide protection and structure.

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
