Mountains cause more rain on windward slopes.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
3 sources for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that mountains cause more rain on windward slopes?

Partly. A Canadian history text and a Korean heavy-rain study report that moist air precipitates on windward slopes, while a 1911 encyclopaedia text (in three copies) asserts that individual valleys and ridges receive more rain on the leeward side. The evidence covers parts of the picture and conflicts, with no item settling the general claim.
