Yay!

Describe the windward/leeward side of the mountain. Which side gets more rain, and on which side does the rainshadow effect occur on?

Also..

What are the characteristics of Foehn winds? On which side of the mountain does this occur on?

the dipstick is an intricate device used to measure the amount of rain in a rain gauge. it can also be used as a derogatory term for your meteorology partners

The windward side of the mountain is wet, and the leeward is dry. The windward side gets more rain, and the rainshadow effect occurs on the leeward side. A Foehn wind is a type of dry, warm, down-slope wind that occurs in the leeward side of a mountain range.

There are more than four greenhouse gases, I believe.  Water vapor, methane, carbon dioxide, CFCs, ozone, nitrous oxide...

Sorry for the slow responses, finishing up an essay for school.
