Answer to Question 1

Prevailing winds force warm, moist air upward against the Sierra Nevadas, producing adiabatic cooling, eventual condensation and net condensation, cloud formation and precipitation on the windward side of the range. On the leeward slope, the air descends, compresses, and heats and evaporation dominates, creating a rain shadow.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
