The correct answer is "uneven rainfall." A rain shadow is a dry area on the leeward side of a mountain range. As moist air approaches a mountain, it is forced to rise, cool, and condense, resulting in increased precipitation on the windward side of the mountain. Once the air passes over the mountain and descends on the leeward side, it warms and dries out, causing less rainfall and creating a rain shadow with uneven rainfall distribution.
