Select the answer that accurately describes why a coastal mountain range has different climates on the windward (wind‑facing) and leeward (wind‑sheltered) sides.
a. Ocean winds become cooler as they travel up the windward slope, causing water vapors to condense as rain. The air is dry when it reaches peak elevations and it becomes warmer as it descends the leeward slope.
b. Ocean winds become cooler as they travel up the windward slope. The humid air becomes warmer as it descends the leeward slope, causing water vapors to condense as rain.
c. Ocean winds become warmer as they travel up the windward slope. The humid air becomes cooler as it descends the leeward slope, causing water vapors to condense as rain.
d. Ocean winds become warmer as they travel up the windward slope, causing water vapors to condense as rain. The air is dry when it reaches peak elevations and it becomes cooler as it descends the leeward slope.
