The correct answer is "uneven rainfall." A rain shadow is a phenomenon that occurs when a mountain range blocks the prevailing winds carrying moist air. As the air is forced to rise over the mountain, it cools and condenses, causing precipitation on the windward side of the mountain. However, as the air descends on the leeward side of the mountain, it warms and dries out, leading to less rainfall in this area. Consequently, the leeward side of the mountain experiences an uneven distribution of rainfall, with drier conditions compared to the windward side.
