Answer 1

The correct response is:

The wind moves upward, causing rain to fall on the other side of the mountain.

This phenomenon is known as orographic lift, where moist air is forced to rise over a mountain range, cooling and condensing to produce precipitation on one side (the windward side), while the other side (the leeward side) often experiences dry conditions, known as a rain shadow.
