Orographic Lift

Orographic LiftIMAGE DESCRIPTION: The clouds were always present over the mountains, and each day they put on a show through a process called orographic lift: "Orographic lift occurs when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain. As the air mass gains altitude it quickly cools down adiabatically, which can raise the relative humidity to 100% and create clouds and, under the right conditions, precipitation."
