Only the first statement is true.
- True: Winds from over the ocean bring moisture into the air, which forms clouds (and then precipitation when the air rises and cools).
- False: The east side gets far less rain than the west (not at least twice as much).
- False/misleading: Coastal mountains don’t “block clouds from rising” — they force moist air to rise on the windward side, producing rainfall and creating a dry rain-shadow on the leeward (eastern) side.
